Honors Chemistry Final Exam Study Guide and Review Packet
Final Exam Preparation
There are many benefits to preparing for and taking a final exam. Keep in mind that you are trying to
gain an understanding of the “big picture” when studying for a cumulative exam. You are most likely to
remember information when it makes sense to you. A value in studying for an exam of large scope is it
allows you to review earlier information with the benefit of knowledge gained later. The knowledge
gained later can frequently help you to gain a clearer picture of topics that may have confused you the
first time around. Learning that comes from reevaluation can make a major difference in your overall
understanding. This difference is a reason why studying for exams is worthwhile.
Study tips:
❖ Review your chemistry journal (class notes & reading notes).
❖ Organize and review your worksheets, labs, problem sets.
❖ Review your study guides.
❖ Study sequentially.
❖ Divide your study time into short, intense sections. This can be more effective than studying
continually for a long period of time.
❖ “Guess the test questions.” You should ask yourself what is most important when studying.
What questions would you ask if you were writing the exam?
❖ Practice, practice, practice.
o Go over the review packet.
o Go over end of chapter problems in your textbook.
o Do the multiple choice questions from the on-line resources.
http://infohost.nmt.edu/~chem/heagy/UnOfficialACSPracticeTest01A.pdf
http://cemast.illinoisstate.edu/downloads/ACS_PRACTICE_EXAM.pdf
o Do the ACS practice test (you may borrow a printed copy and return it by exam day).
o Study with a friend. Quiz each other. Practice explaining topics to one another.
❖ Do the practice problems using the periodic table, reference sheet, and calculator you will use on
the exam.

2. Silver Bullion “The cupellation assay was used formerly, for the determination of silver in many of its alloys. This method has been
replaced in the majority of mints and assay offices by volumetric methods. The chief of these is the "Gay Lussac" assay,
which was introduced into the Paris mint in 183o, and has since been adopted in most offices. An exact weight of the
bullion is dissolved in nitric acid, and very nearly all the silver is precipitated at once by the addition of a known volume
of a standard solution of salt. When the precipitate has settled, the remaining silver is precipitated by the further addition
of a small quantity of a more dilute solution of salt, the precipitate forming a white cloud in the supernatant liquid. The
quantity of this silver is judged by the appearance of the white cloud.” http://gluedideas.com/Encyclopedia-Britannica-
