Survival Guide to General Chemistry

Autor Patrick E. McMahon, Rosemary McMahon, Bohdan Khomtchouk
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2019
This work evolved over thirty combined years of teaching general chemistry to a variety of student demographics. The focus is not to recap or review the theoretical concepts well described in the available texts.Instead, the topics and descriptions in this book make available specific, detailed step-by-step methods and procedures for solving the major types of problems in general chemistry. Explanations, instructional process sequences, solved examples and completely solved practice problems are greatly expanded, containing significantly more detail than can usually be devoted to in a comprehensive text. Many chapters also provide alternative viewpoints as an aid to understanding.
Key Features:
  • The authors have included every major topic in the first semester of general chemistry and most major topics from the second semester. Each is written in a specific and detailed step-by-step process for problem solving, whether mathematical or conceptual
  • Each topic has greatly expanded examples and solved practice problems containing significantly more detail than found in comprehensive texts
  • Includes a chapter designed to eliminate confusion concerning acid/base reactions which often persists through working with acid/base equilibrium
  • Many chapters provide alternative viewpoints as an aid to understanding
  • This book addresses a very real need for a large number of incoming freshman in STEM fields

    Recenzii

    This "survival guide" is a detailed and clear exposition of how to approach and solve the great variety of problems students may encounter during a university general chemistry course. Each chapter or section begins with a very condensed explanation of the topics to be covered; the text then describes the process for analyzing problems, presents typical problems with step-by-step solutions, then poses a group of practice problems for which solutions are given. There are few conceptual problems posed. One of the authors has extensive experience in teaching general chemistry; another is an industrial chemist; and the third is a post-doctoral fellow with biomedical experience. While the book is not intended to replace the textbook, it serves as a companion offering step-by-step guidance through a general chemistry course.

    Descriere

    Incoming freshman are increasingly unprepared for general chemistry at a collegiate level. This text is at a more basic level than the comprehensive ones and useful for students who are finding it difficult to grasp concepts. It is also helpful in reaching struggling students while not diluting class time to levels below the requirements of others.
