What This Document Is
This document is a past exam (Exam 2A) from a Spring 2015 General Chemistry II (CHEM 1212K) course at Georgia State University, prepared by Dr. McCloskey. It serves as a practice and review tool for students preparing for similar assessments. The exam focuses on core concepts typically covered in the second exam of a General Chemistry II sequence.
Why This Document Matters
This exam is valuable for students currently enrolled in or preparing for CHEM 1212K, or a similar General Chemistry course. Reviewing past exams provides insight into the instructor’s testing style, the types of questions asked, and the relative importance of different topics. It’s best used *after* initial study of course material, as a way to self-assess understanding and identify areas needing further review. It’s particularly useful for gauging the level of problem-solving expected.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This is a single past exam, and while representative, it may not perfectly reflect the content or difficulty of future exams. Course content and instructor emphasis can change. Relying solely on this exam for preparation is insufficient; it should be used in conjunction with lectures, textbooks, and other study materials. This document does not include solutions or explanations.
What This Document Provides
The full exam includes the following:
* Ten questions covering topics such as empirical formula determination, percent composition calculations, stoichiometry, acid/base strength identification, and oxidation number assignment.
* A mix of calculation-based and conceptual questions.
* A clear indication of the point value for each question, reflecting its relative weight.
This preview *does not* provide answers, worked solutions, or detailed explanations of the concepts tested. It only offers a glimpse into the exam’s structure and content areas.
