Exam 1

Wednesday 9/18

UTC 2.102A


What we provide on Exams We will provide all students with:

  • the Exam
    • cover page with periodic table and all necessary conversion factors and constants
    • actual exam - 20 multiple choice questions
  • an answer sheet - aka: bubblesheet

The cover page with the periodic table will be very similar to the one available in the Appendix of the ChemBook website (Chapter 10).

Coverage: Exam 1 covers all the material that was covered on HW's 01 and 02. ChemBook Chapters: The exam covers all of Chapters 1 and 2 which is some fundamentals of chemistry plus gas laws and some atmosphere/air knowledge.

Questions: The exam will have 20 multiple choice questions. This means that each question is worth 5 points. We might decide to push that ±1 point for a few questions - meaning 4 and 6 points for a handful of questions. The point values are included with all questions so you'll see the points. We will only grade you by what is bubbled in on the answer sheet that you turn in. We will not look at your exam copy for answers, nor consider them in any way. Bubble carefully and correctly.

Bring the Following to the Exam

  • UT ID Card / picture ID
  • a pencil(s) - mechanical or wood
  • scanner only reads pencil - no ink!
  • bring eraser if you are prone to mistakes
  • bring a non-programmable, non-graphing, scientific calculator
  • we provide the rest - see previous section

DO NOT bring...

  • ink pens
  • graphing calculator
  • any type of programmable calculator
  • electronic devices - phones, earbuds, etc...
  • smart watches - put away that smart watch!

Learning Outcomes (stuff you need to know)

Students will know...

  1. how to count stuff
  2. that fire is hot
  3. how to mathematically convert from one type of unit to another utilizing a set of conversion factors
  4. the names, formulas, and physical state of the first 10 alkanes
  5. Know which elements exist as diatomic molecules
  6. the MAIN Metric Prefixes for Chemistry Class as listed in section 10.2 of chembook - it's the last table there
  7. how to fully balance a chemical reaction and identify the coefficients
  8. how to do composition stoichiometry calculations - figuring out the percent of a specific element in a given compound
  9. how to do reaction stoichiometry calculations converting moles to moles and also moles to grams and grams to grams or anything else
  10. how to predict product amounts when given arbitrary amounts of reactants - limiting reactant problems (like #20 on HW01)
  11. the 3 primary components and their percentages of dry air
  12. how those percentages change when humid air is used
  13. the 6 primary pollutants in our air - know names and formulas and/or abbreviations for them
  14. the primary sources/causes of those pollutants
  15. what methods are in place to help curb the amounts of these pollutants in air
  16. how to calculate various gas law values - P, V, T, and n according to the ideal gas law and associated laws
  17. anything else we learned and did in class, on HW, that I forgot here
