CHEMISTRY 1211
Unit II Exam
With editorial correction, additions, and clarifications (10/15/01)

 

Directions: Mark the letter of the correct answer on your answer sheet with medium lead (No. 2) pencil. You may use your exam sheet for scratch paper. You may keep your exam paper. Each question is worth 6 points for a total of 120 points possible. No additional penalty for guessing. Note that some questions may have more than one correct answer. You will be given partial credit in some instances. Your exam will be graded on the basis of 100 points (i.e. 20 bonus points built in).
