Test 2A Chemistry 21 - Dr. Kline November 15, 2017 This test consists of a combination of multiple-choice and other questions. There should be 21 questions on eight pages. Do not use your own tables, scratch paper, or other information. A periodic table and other information will be provided. Please turn off all cell phones and other devices that could make noise or vibrate. No food. No gum. Calculator OK. The test will end two hours and 15 minutes after it starts. You may use a template (stencil). No sharing of stencils once the exam starts. Multiple-Choice Questions. These 14 questions are worth three points each, for a total of 42 points. There is only one answer per question unless stated otherwise for a given problem. Answer each question by bubbling in the letter(s) corresponding to the correct choices on the provided answer sheet. If more than one answer is correct, bubble in all of the correct ones. It is not necessary to show work for these questions and, in fact, it will be ignored. You may write on the exam. 1.
