REVISED QUANTITATIVE ITEMS FROM THE 1994 CHEMISTRY

EXAM
There were a total of 20 quantitative questions in the multiple-choice section of the 1994
AP Chemistry Exam. Below are 10 quantitative questions from this group rewritten to
conform to the new format being introduced in 1996, in which calculators will not be
allowed for the multiple-choice questions. (The capital "R" following the question
number indicates that it is a Revised question.) The remaining quantitative questions
from the 1994 exam are those for which students would not typically need a calculator,
and therefore represent quantitative questions that would appear exactly as they are now
on the new format of the exam.
