ACS STANDARD FINAL EXAM
Information supplied with the test:
1) A list of abbreviations and symbols.
2) The values of several physical constants.
3) Several equations mostly from kinetics and electrochemistry
4) A periodic table with atomic masses
Format of the test:
1) 70 multiple choice questions from General Chemistry I and General
Chemistry II. Question Topics are below.
2) You have 120 minutes to complete the test.
3) You will be give an exam, answer sheet, and scratch paper all of these
three things must be returned at the end of the test. If not returned, you
get a zero
4) DO NOT WRITE IN THE TEST BOOKLET
5) Your score will be the number of correct answer out of 70. There is no
penalty for incorrect answers, so it is to your advantage to answer all
questions.
Topics (For each topic there are from 6 -8 questions)
The numbers after the topic are the chapters in Chemistry by Zumdahl were the topic is
covered
1) Atomic Structure
2 and 7 (mostly 7)
2) Molecular Structure
8 and 9 (mostly 8)
3) Stoichiometry
3, 4, and parts of 5
4) Energetics

5) States of Matter / Solutions
2,4,5, 10 and 11 (mostly 10 and 11)
6) Dynamics
12
7) Equilibrium
13, 14, 15
8) Electrochemistry and Redox
4 and 16 (mostly 16)
9) Descriptive Chemistry / Periodicity Throughout the book but mainly 7, 19, and 20
10) Experimental
Lab safety and calculations
Tips
1) Answer every question.
2) If you skip a question do not lose your place on the answer sheet
3) For some questions, you may have no clue because the tests cover more than we did in
Chem I and Chem II.
4) The test is hard and will be curved. National average for 2001:
