The Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual provides students with a combined manual designed to help them avoid common mistakes and understand key concepts. After a brief review of each section’s critical ideas, students are taken through stepped-out worked examples, try-it-yourself examples, and chapter quizzes, all structured to reinforce chapter objectives and build problem-solving techniques. The solutions manual includes detailed solutions to all odd-numbered exercises in the text.

Each chapter of the Student Study Guide begins with a chapter review tied to the chapter goals in the text. Next. Sample problems are supplied and stepped out through the solution, for each type of problem covered in the chapter. A Self-Test serves up fill-in-the-blank exercises to assess learning, with answers supplied at the end of the chapter. Finally, chapters end with the solutions for all of the in-chapter problems, as well as for the odd-numbered end-of-chapter problems.

The Laboratory Manual for General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, third edition, by Karen C. Timberlake contains 35 experiments related to the content of general, organic, and biological chemistry courses, as well as basic/preparatory chemistry courses. The labs included give students an opportunity to go beyond the lectures and words in the textbook to experience the scientific process from which conclusions and theories are drawn.
