Chemistry in Quantitative Language: Fundamentals of General Chemistry Calculations - Paperback

by Christopher O. Oriakhi (Author)

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.
