Emphasises on contemporary applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach that helps students discover the exciting potential of chemical science. This book incorporates fresh applications from the three major areas of modern research: materials, environmental chemistry, and biological science.

Chemistry 2e is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the two-semester general chemistry course. The textbook provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of chemistry and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. The book also includes a number of innovative features, including interactive exercises and real-world applications, designed to enhance student learning. The second edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Substantial improvements have been made in the figures, illustrations, and example exercises that support the text narrative. Changes made in Chemistry 2e are described in the preface to help instructors transition to the second edition.

This clearly written, class-tested manual has long given students hands-on experience covering all the essential topics in general chemistry. Stand alone experiments provide all the background introduction necessary to work with any general chemistry text. This revised edition offers new experiments and expanded information on applications to real world situations.

This text includes the narrative from the MindTap General Chemistry Course. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Students can't do chemistry if they can't do the math. The Practice of Chemistry, First Edition is the only preparatory chemistry text to offer students targeted consistent mathematical support to make sure they understand how to use math (especially algebra) in chemical problem solving. The book's unique focus on actual chemical practice, extensive study tools, and integrated media, makes The Practice of Chemistry the most effective way to prepare students for the standard general chemistry course--and bright futures as science majors.
