This document contains a 35 question chemistry exam with multiple choice answers. It covers topics like organic reactions, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, and nomenclature. The questions test understanding of concepts like stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, thermodynamics, acid strength, and IUPAC nomenclature rules. This appears to be a past exam that could be used to study for a general chemistry or organic chemistry course.
