CHEM 160-01
Practice Final Exam
(150 points)
Name _________________________ May 8, 2006
General Instructions
1. The format of this exam is 75 multiple-choice questions, 2 points each. There is only
one correct answer to each question. If you make a mistake, completely erase your
mistake. If you fail to erase your first answer, you will not receive credit for the problem.
NO partial question will be awarded, so there is no penalty for guessing.
2. Useful constants:
1 amu = 1.66054 × 10-27 kg
1 atm = 760 Torr
= 760 mm Hg
Boltzmann constant (k) = 1.38065 × 10-23 J K-1
Gas constant (R) = 0.08205 L atm mole-1 K-1
= 8.31447 J mole-1 K-1
Avogadro’s number (Na) = 6.02214 × 1023 mole-1
Ion Product of Water (Kw) = 1.000 × 10-14 at 25.0 °C
Faraday constant (F) = 96,485 C mole-1
RT/F = 0.0257 V at 25°C
3. Assume a temperature of 298 K unless otherwise specified.
4. A useful exam strategy is to look over the entire exam briefly when you receive it and to
work the problems or questions that you know how to do first. Then go back and try the
questions that you are not so certain you know how to work.
5. A periodic table and table of standard reduction potentials are attached to the end of the
exam for your reference.
6. Some common ions and their charges are:
F-, fluoride S2O32-, thiosulfate
Cl-, chloride C2O42-, oxalate
Br-, bromide CN-, cyanide
I-, iodide SCN-, thiocyanate
