Multiple Choice Questions Each of the following multiple choice questions are worth 5 points. Your answers need to be filled in on the Scantron provided. Note: Your Scantrons will not be returned to you, therefore, for your records, you may want to mark your answers on this sheet. On the Scantron you need to fill in your perm number, test version, and name. Failure to do any of these things will result in the loss of 1 point. Your perm number is placed and bubbled in under the ID number. Do not skip boxes or put in a hyphen. In addition, leave bubbles blank under any unused boxes. The version number (A) is bubbled in under the test form. Use the following to answer question 1: You make a galvanic cell with a copper electrode in a solution of copper nitrate and a silver electrode in a solution of silver nitrate.
