Chemistry For The Utterly Confused PDF Download

General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 2 introduces students to foundational concepts in chemistry with emphasis on real-world application. Throughout the text, students learn how the study of chemistry supports material science, forensics, medicine, and other disciplines. The text is a continuation of Volume 1 of the same name. This volume includes 11 chapters that can be taught traditionally or in a non-linear fashion. Topics include kinetics, chemical and acid-base equilibrium, and solubility and complex ion equilibria. Dedicated chapters address thermodynamics and equilibrium, electrochemistry and equilibrium, transition metals and coordination chemistry, nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry and biotechnology. The book features problems that span multiple chapters, topic boxes that contain worked examples, concurrent presentation of the VSEPR and Valence Bond theories to allow each to reinforce the other, and integration of environmental topics within distinct sections of appropriate chapters. Introductions, summaries, problems, application examples, and meaningful appendices further facilitate student learning, rendering General Chemistry an ideal textbook for foundational chemistry courses.
