Chem 114 Exam 3 April 4, 2016 Name: PLEASE print your name on the exam and sign the academic integrity pledge. Print your name and fill in the circles with your I.D. # on side 1 (blue) of the scantron. Please mark answers on both the exam and scantron, and show work on the exam. Do not write any chemistry notes on the scantron. Since students have the scantrons in advance, this could be grounds for an academic dishonesty inquiry. Only non-programmable calculators may be used on this exam. The use of cell phones, headphones, programmable calculators (TI 83-89 and similar models), or any other electronic devices will be considered grounds for an academic dishonesty inquiry, as defined in the Conduct section of the University of South Dakota Student Handbook. I will not copy from another student s exam nor will I knowingly allow another student to copy from my exam. I also will not use any forbidden sources of information on this exam, such as written notes, etc. Instructor will complete: Signature Equations: K w = 1.0 x 10-14 = [H + ][OH - ] = K a K b ph=pk a + log [A- ] [HA] Constants: R = 8.314 J/(mol K) PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS 1
