From liquids and solids to acids and bases - work chemistry equations and use formulas with ease
Got a grasp on the chemistry terms and concepts you need to know, but get lost halfway through a problem or, worse yet, not know where to begin? Have no fear - this hands-on guide helps you solve many types of chemistry problems in a focused, step-by-step manner. With problem-solving shortcuts and lots of practice exercises, you'll build your chemistry skills and improve your performance both in and out of the science lab. You'll see how to work with numbers, atoms, and elements; make and remake compounds; understand changes in terms of energy; make sense of organic chemistry; and more!
When you're fixed in the thickets ol stoichiometry or bogged down by buffered solutions, you've got little use for rapturous poetry about the atomic splendor of the universe. What you need is a little practical assistance. Subject by subject, problem by problem, this book extends a helping hand to pull you out of the thickets and bogs.
The topics covered in this book are those most often covered in a first course of chemistry. The focus is on problems — problems like those you may encounter in homework or on exams. We give you just enough theory to grasp the principles at work in the problems. Then we tackle example problems. Then you tackle practice problems.
This workbook is modular. You can pick and choose those chapters and types of problems that challenge you the most; you don't have to read this book cover to cover if you don't want to. If certain topics require you to know other topics in advance, we tell you so and point you in the right direction. Most importantly, worked-out solutions and explanations are provided for every problem.
Getting Cozy With Numbers, Atoms, and Elements
Making and Remaking Compounds
Examining Changes in Terms of Energy.
Swapping Charges.
Going Organic.
The Part of lens.
