FALL TERM 2010

EXAM 1
FRIDAY OCTOBER 15: 11am

INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT TEAR ANY PAGES OFF YOUR EXAM, EXCEPT THE PERIODIC CHART.
PRINT AND SIGN YOUR NAME AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE.
The exam contains 15 multiple-choice questions (6 points each) to be answered on the
machine-scored sheet, using a #2 pencil. Be sure to write in your name and to code in your
7-digit PeopleSoft Number on this sheet. Do all your working on the exam sheets.
The last 10 points will be given for your answers to instructions marked *** in 6 of the
questions. Write your answers clearly on the exam sheets.
TURN IN THE WHOLE EXAM and the MACHINE-SCORED SHEET.
You may record your answers on the periodic chart for comparison with the answer key, which
will be available after the exam.

1 amu = 1.66 x 10-24 g

Avogadros number = 6.02 x 1023/mol

M = mol/L

A periodic chart is attached; the atomic weight (molar mass) is printed below the symbol for
each element. You are expected to use the information on this chart and the data above, where
required in the exam.
Solubility rules and a stoichiometry flow chart are on the reverse of the periodic chart.
Observations and Checking
Did you read the question and responses correctly?
