About This CD-ROMGeneral Chemistry Multimedia Problems are based on videos of chemistry demonstrations and require you to answer questions about experiments you see. These problems mix concepts from different parts of the general chemistry course, encouraging you to "decompartmentalize" the material. There are thirty-two problems with each problem consisting of four to twelve questions. Questions in the problems have been chosen to include many of the concepts covered in a typical two-semester general chemistry course for science majors. Twenty of the problems are based on concepts often encountered in the first semester; twelve of the problems are based on both first and second semester topics. Answers to the problems are not available in these HTML files, although they may be furnished to you by your instructor. AcknowledgementsThe author would like to thank John Moore and the New Traditions Project for support during two summers at the University of Wisconsin where the original Toolbook versions of these problems were developed. The videos were developed at the University of Wisconsin and are available from the Journal of Chemical Education Software as part of the Chemistry Comes Alive! series. These videos used in the Disorder problem were inspired by a film made by Henry Bent. The Floating Squares problem was derived from the demonstration in L. R. Summerlin, C. F. Borgford, and J. B. Ealy Chemical Demonstrations, Volume 2, ACS: Washington, DC, 1987. The author would like to thank Dr. Charles Kay for his explanation of the Phlogiston theory. |
