CHEM 222 Lab Exam March 2009 Lab Coordinator: Mike Daoust
Important Note: There were 20 multiple choice questions on the exam. They are all written here from my memory right after the exam. I have put a check mark on the answer choice that I chose. However, I got two questions wrong and I do not know which ones since the exam was not given back.
Best of Luck! =]
