Exam II
November 16, 2006
7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
As always, full credit will not be given unless you have written down the reasoning or calculations you
used to obtain the correct answer. Work on the back of pages will not be graded! Pay attention to
significant figures. Please check now that your exam has twelve pages (including this one). A
periodic table and a list of formulas are attached at the back of the exam. If you finish early, just leave
your completed exam on the front desk. If you have a question, we will be up on the fifth floor. You
have two hours to complete this exam.
It is against the honor code at Amherst College to either give or receive help on this exam.
The work you turn in must be yours and yours alone.
Extra Credit (circle the correct answer)

communicated the “soul of chemistry.” During his speech, GN Lewis invoked the name of

a) GN Lewis’s graduate student
b) According to ancient texts, a demon who was repelled by the fumes of fish liver
