Sorry guys that I couldn’t make it! If you have further question, feel free to email me at mwu@mines.edu.
I will be doing a round of email check asap (hopefully no later than 11 pm). Feel free to ask about any
questions here that were unclear or any of other last minute questions!

Answers are also posted on www.scribd.com/chemistry_mwu by later tonight (by 11 pm latest). I’ll try to
post solutions, but this test isn’t showing much “work”.

Good luck! 
