Chemistry 151
Final Exam: PRACTICE
This 120 min exam consists of 50 questions.

DO NOT open this cover page until instructed.

With a #2 type PENCIL Fill in your NAME and SID on the answer card. NO PENS
For each answer, FILL IN the letter corresponding to the correct answer.

You will find an answer sheet, a periodic table, and a list of constants and conversion factors
attached to the end of the exam.

Significant Figures must be taken into account on all calculations.

SUGGESTIONS:
Every question is of equal value, do not get stalled on more difficult problems.

There are no penalties for wrong answers. Thus, answer every single question.

If your answer is not filled in on the answer sheet, it will not be graded. If you make corrections,
be clear. If the grader has to guess what your answer is, they will guess that your answer is
wrong.

There is no room for cheating. Integrity is hallmark in science and violations of the Student
Conduct Code and could result in an “expulsion from UH Manoa.” It is not worth the risk.
