Practice Exam
This practice exam contains the MCQs and SAQs of a previous exam completed in CHEM1011.

The SAQs in this practice exam will not contain answers that can be read after your first attempt.
Please bring any questions you wish to discuss to the Canvas Discussion Boards for clarification.
Discussing the material with your peers and the teaching staff is a much more impactful means to
truly learn the material.

Note that formatting IS NOT required so, for example, CH4(g) is fine to represent CH4(g) or 'Delta'
used in the place of  . Note that you do have access to the equation editor, but its use is not required.

Please note that this examination is for guidance only. Any learning outcome raised in the course is
examinable, so be prepared to address all material covered in your lectures and tutorials.

Best of luck!
