Course News and Announcements

  • The Course Final is on Monday, June 8th at 10:30 am.

  • The Lab Final, Experiment 20: Ten Tubes, will be done on Wednesday, June 3rd, 1 - 5pm. There are no make-ups!

  • Here is a sheet which lists some concepts from General Chemistry that you will need to know next year for Organic Chemistry. It will be updated throughout the quarter.
