This workbook seeks to help undergraduates tackle physical chemistry calculations with confidence. Examples and exercises - with answers - are provided

A Working Method Approach for Introductory Physical Chemistry Calculations is a concise inexpensive introduction to first year chemistry that is aimed at students who are weak in chemistry or have no chemistry on entry to university. Such students usually find physical chemistry the most difficult part of the chemistry course, and within this section numerical problem solving is an additional difficulty. The text should also be invaluable to first year intending chemists. This text provides an introduction to physical chemistry and the gas laws, followed by chapters on thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry and chemical kinetics. Each section involves a brief introduction followed by a representative examination question, which is broken down into a proposed working method. Both short multiple-choice questions and related full examination-type questions are included. This book will prove invaluable to students who need encouragement in a logical approach to problem solving in physical chemistry, teaching them to think for themselves when faced with a problem.

Physical Chemistry Calculations is a practical guide for students and instructors who want to learn how to use the most popular spreadsheet and computational software to solve problems in physical chemistry. The book provides students with a complementary approach to the chemistry and physics they are learning in the classroom. Physical Chemistry Calculations also gives a solid introduction to calculations with Excel, VB, VBA, MathCad and Mathematica.

Calculations in Chemistry is intended to help students overcome the challenges associated with solving the numerical problems in chemistry. Chemistry is a numerical science which cannot be fully appreciated without adequate numerical skills. In fact, the lack of problem-solving skills has been recognised as one of the major reasons for the poor performance recorded in the subject over the years. Budgetary and size constraints often translate to lack of space for solving enough sample problems in core textbooks and most problems are presented in a difficult manner that douses enthusiasm for learning. Thus, a book of this nature, containing numerous solved problems drawn from all aspects of chemistry, is necessary to complement the core texts if students are to attain the required level of mastery in the subject. Meant specifically for students studying chemistry at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, this book presents the calculations in chemistry in a simple, logical and down-to-earth manner that will impart students with the required numerical skills for excelling in chemistry. wide topical coverage clear, concise introductions that explain basic principles and theoretical basis for each type of calculation numerous representative examples practice problems and answers to test what has been explained end-of-chapter summary that gives a checklist of key terms and concepts numerous exercises, including objective questions, with answers exhaustive coverage of the mole concept use of SI units and IUPAC conventions it assumes little or no prior knowledge of chemistry and mathematics comprehensive treatment of quantitative analysis appendices that supply useful information

Mathematics for Physical Chemistry, Third Edition, is the ideal text for students and physical chemists who want to sharpen their mathematics skills. It can help prepare the reader for an undergraduate course, serve as a supplementary text for use during a course, or serve as a reference for graduate students and practicing chemists. The text concentrates on applications instead of theory, and, although the emphasis is on physical chemistry, it can also be useful in general chemistry courses. The Third Edition includes new exercises in each chapter that provide practice in a technique immediately after discussion or example and encourage self-study. The first ten chapters are constructed around a sequence of mathematical topics, with a gradual progression into more advanced material. The final chapter discusses mathematical topics needed in the analysis of experimental data. - Numerous examples and problems interspersed throughout the presentations - Each extensive chapter contains a preview, objectives, and summary - Includes topics not found in similar books, such as a review of general algebra and an introduction to group theory - Provides chemistry specific instruction without the distraction of abstract concepts or theoretical issues in pure mathematics
