Overview

Problem-solving is one of the most challenging aspects students encounter in general chemistry courses, leading to frustration and failure. Consequently, many students become less motivated to take additional chemistry courses after the first year.This book tackles this issue head on and provides innovative, intuitive, and systematic strategies to tackle any type of calculations encountered in chemistry. The material begins with the basic theories, equations, and concepts of the underlying chemistry, followed by worked examples with carefully explained step-by-step solutions to showcase the ways in which the problems can be presented. The second edition contains additional problems at the end of each chapter with varying degrees of difficulty, and many of the original examples have been revised.

Reviews

Review from previous edition This book provides students with innovative, intuitive and systematic strategies to master problem-solving in chemistry... A valuable guide to solving chemcial equations, and calculations based on chemical equations. * Paul Yates, Chemistry World * A good supplement for any general chemistry course. It differs from the normal book in that the descriptive commentary is kept to a minimum, while the numerical problem-solving pieces are kept simple and methodical. Recommended. * Choice *
