CHEM 2000 Practice Tests
The practice tests posted here are old midterms. In some cases, they have been edited due to changes in course content.
CHEM 2000 Final Exam
Final exams in CHEM 2000 are always cumulative, covering all concepts taught throughout the course.
The last page of every test is a data sheet which includes a periodic table, physical constants, and formulas. It may also include additional useful information such as standard enthalpies of formation, standard entropies and/or standard free energies of formation.
A calculator is always required for the CHEM 2000 final exam.
The practice tests should be used to self-test. Just reading them (or, worse yet, just reading the answer keys) is a waste of your time and denies you the learning opportunities available when they are used properly. Do a practice test with your books closed and time yourself. Only allow yourself the tools you would have on a real test (calculator and data sheet).
CHEM 2000 Midterm #1
Midterm #1 usually covers course content from the first lecture to the end of valence bond theory. Your instructor will let you know the exact cut-off used in your semester.
The last page of every test is a data sheet which includes a periodic table. It may also include other relevant data such as physical constants and/or formulas.
Whether or not calculators will be permitted on midterm #1 for CHEM 2000 will be at your instructor's discretion. Typically, they will only be allowed if the instructor is considering including at least one calculation on the test. It is expected that students are able to perform very basic arithmetic (e.g. multiplying by 1, 2 or 10) without the help of a calculator.

CHEM 2000 Midterm #2
Midterm #2 usually covers thermodynamics. Topics typically include entropy, free energy, equilibrium, effect of temperature on equilibrium, phase diagrams, balancing redox equations, electrochemistry, etc. The test for Spring 2018 is expected to cut off at the end of electrochemistry (like the practice test below does).
The last page of every test is a data sheet which includes a periodic table. It may also include other relevant data such as physical constants and/or formulas.
A calculator is always required for midterm #2 for CHEM 2000.
More practice tests can be found on the Past Tests page of Prof Roussel's website. Some of them had earlier cut-offs due to the fact that we used to cover additional topics in CHEM 2000 that have since moved to CHEM 1000 (notably, intermolecular forces).
