Chemistry 1210, Section 3, Fall semester 2012 Second Hour Exam October 24, 2012 Dr. Scott Ensign ExamVersion 0001 Instructions: Be sure to mark the exam version number (0001) on your scantron Do not begin until 10:30 AM. The exam must be turned in by 11:20 AM This exam should have 25 questions. Each question is worth 4 points for a total of 100 points. A periodic table and an exam information sheet should be on the next two pages. Please show a copy of a picture ID (USU card or drivers license) when turning in your exam to one of the exam proctors. Use only a #2 Pencil to mark the best answer on the ScanTron Sheet. Be sure to provide your LAST NAME, STUDENT NUMBER, and exam version number on the scantron. You will turn in only the Scantron sheet. You should keep the rest of the exam. Please present your student activity card or other form of identification when turning in the exam. Be very careful filling in the scantron bubbles (last name, A number, and answers) correctly: The scantron is what gets turned in and graded, not the exam. Please do not spend too much time on any one problem. If you get stuck, move on to an easier problem, and come back to the harder one later. Good luck!
