CHEMISTRY 1201, Lecture section 02 and 03
Problem supplement for the Final Exam   - SPRING 2002

I have included some of my new questions as well as Dr. Chan's (Lecture section 1) E3 questions and Dr. Wright's (Lecture section 4) E2 questions. I could not get my paws on their other tests. Sorry!

THIS IS NOT A SAMPLE FINAL - too many questions!

Please review ALL of our lecture exams (E1, E2, and E3) and all five HWs (esp. the last one since it did not get tested on the last exam), and the recommended questions from the textbook + the sample E1, E2 and E3 also available on the web. Also, please read through Ch.13.1 - 13.5, and be familiar with the concepts.

TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS BEFORE ACCESSING THE ANSWERS !!!!!!!
