CHEM 2600 Practice Tests for Midterm 1

The tests below can be used for practice. The first test in CHEM 2600 typically covers all things spectroscopy (IR, NMR and mass spectrometry). There are more practice tests in this section than others because it was unaffected by the curriculum revision.

Answer keys are for checking your work. There is little to no value in reading an answer key without first attempting to solve the problem yourself. All that does is give you a false sense of security because every problem looks much easier after you’ve seen somebody else solve it.

Pay attention to how peak assignments are communicated on the answer keys. If you are following instructions, your peak assignments should look the same. I cannot mark peak assignments I can’t find!

CHEM 2600 tests are typically accompanied by a periodic table and a spectroscopy data package (which should not be written on if you would like it back on future tests).
