PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE REGULAR LECTURE TIME; final exam schedules are different than the regular class schedule. chapters 1-6 & 18: 14 questions (2 per chapter); 98 points All questions will be multiple-choice. It would be a good idea to study your quizzes from this quarter to prepare for the exam. Wherever there are gaps in the chapters, then reference homework and/or exam questions.

Notes:
¹ Chemistry, 7th edition, Zumdahl & Zumdahl, (c) 2007 Houghton Mifflin Co.
² Chemical Principles in the Laboratory, 8th or 9th edition, Slowinski et al.
*indicates "extra difficult" problems; students hoping to earn an "A" should be able to solve/answer these problems
