Lecture Help Pages-CSUDH Chemistry Department
This is the entry point to a set of pages aimed at aiding you in your studies of
chemistry. There are currently 105 pages available. The pages are of three types.
The first type-Drill and Practice-generate random problems in a table format for you. The second-Word Problems-present random word problems
in specifc areas. The third-Data Analysis-require that you provide some imput data for
the page to use. The pages are sorted by general categories and are most easily reached by
using the first table below to reach a category. You may also scroll down this page to the
full list of pages. There is now a fairly comprehensive treatment of stoichiometry and of the uses of
chemical formulas. After the page title, you will find (DP) if it is a drill and practice page, (WP) if it is a word problem page or (DA) if it is a data analysis page. Once you find the page you
wish to use, click on the 
in front of the title. You may return to this page by clicking on the 
which appears at the bottom of each page.
Browser Note:
In general the pages will run properly with Netscape 3.x and 4.x and Internet Explorer 4.x. There are a numer of pages which will not run under Internet Explorer. They are noted with a "Netscape Only" label.
Important Notice/Most of these pages now have the option of displaying the correct answer after three incorrect responses. In some instances, when you display the answer, you may see a result with extra significant figures. Don't be concerned about this. The intent of these pages is for you to develop your problem solving skills. In the actual grading portion of the programs, allowances are made for proper significant figures. Thus, if you approach the problem correctly and submit a solution with the proper number of significant figures, it will be judged correct by the program.
