CHEM F111: General Chemistry (Closed Book) PART A (20 Marks) Time-45 min Date: 12.05.2024

Instructions: Ensure that both sides of the paper are printed. Part A consists of 10 questions which have
to be answered in the box printed below. Use the last two sheets of the main answer book for rough work,
if needed. Negative marking is followed. Each correct answer carries 2 marks and each wrong answer
carries -0.5 mark. Tick or marking the answers on the given options are not considered as answers and
will not be evaluated. Write the answers clearly inside the box in CAPITAL LETTERS. Overwriting
inside answer box is not allowed. Do not use Pencil. Write your Name, ID and correct TS.
