Exam 3 Chemistry
You have 50 minutes to complete the 33 questions on the exam. Choose the best answer
for each question. The double numbered questions count twice and you should mark both
numbers on the answer sheet.
Please use pencil marks for the answer sheet and make sure that it is not too light
and fill in the whole bubble.
Please fill in your name and a 10 digit identification number on your answer sheet.
Good Luck!!
REMOVE THE COVER FROM YOUR CALCULATOR AND PLACE ALL NON-
TEST MATERIALS OUT OF VIEW!!
Supportive material
Please note that both [H+] and [H3O+] are used interchangeably throughout the exam.
[X] means concentration of X in mol/L or M; pressures are measured in atmospheres.
R = 8.314 J/molK
Standard conditions refer to 1M solutions, 1atm gas. When the temperature is not given
assume 298K.
NA = 6.0221 * 1023/mol; Avogadro's Number;
1amu = 1.661* 10-24g
°C = 5/9 (°F -32)
F = 9/5 (°C) +32
273K = 0°C and 298K = 25°C
