Chemical Calculations

Many undergraduate students enter into chemistry courses from a wide range of backgrounds, often possessing various levels of experience with the mathematical concepts necessary for carrying out practical calculations in chemistry. Chemical Calculations: Mathematics for Chemistry, Second Edition provides a unified, student-friendly reference of mathematical concepts and techniques incorporated into the context of familiar chemical topics. Uniquely organized by chemical—rather than mathematical—topics, this book relates each mathematical technique to the chemical concepts where it applies. The new edition features additional, revised, and updated material in every chapter. It achieves greater clarity with newly improved organization of topics and cross-referencing where mathematical techniques occur more than once. The text also contains numerous worked examples along with end-of-chapter exercises and detailed solution—giving students the opportunity to apply previously introduced techniques to chemically related problems. An ideal course companion for chemistry courses throughout the length of a degree, the second edition of Chemical Calculations: Mathematics for Chemistry may also extend its utility as a concise and practical reference for professionals in a wide array of scientific disciplines involving chemistry.

Basic Chemistry Calculations is intended to help students overcome the challenges associated with solving problems in chemistry. This book contains numerous solved problems in some important areas of chemistry. These worked examples will really improve students understanding in the aspect of calculations in chemistry. This boom will be useful to students in high schools and higher institutions of learning. It will also be a useful guide for students of chemical engineering in order to improve their chemistry calculation skills which is required for proper understanding of chemical engineering calculations. The worked examples in this book are presented in a simple, logical and self-explanatory manner that will impart students with the required numerical skills for excelling in chemistry and chemical engineering calculations. Exercises are presented at the end of each topic in order for students to attempt and assess themselves. The topics covered in this book include: CALCULATIONS ON MOLE FRACTION AND MASS FRACTIONCALCULATIONS ON AVERAGE MOLECULAR MASS OF MIXED COMPOUNDS/MOLECULESCALCULATIONS INVOLVING COMBUSTIONCALCULATIONS INVOLVING LIMITING REACTANTSCALCULATIONS INVOLVING THE FORMULA OF COMPOUNDSEQUILIBRIUM REACTION CALCULATIONSThese topics are well simplified with the numerous worked examples explained in a step-by-step order under them. A thorough study of this textbook will definitely improve your calculation skills in chemistry

Uniquely organized by chemical rather than mathematical topics, this book relates each mathematical technique to the chemical concepts where it applies. The new edition features additional, revised, and updated material in every chapter and maintains the clarity of the previous edition with the appropriate organization of topics and improved cross-referencing where mathematical techniques occur more than once. The text contains additional worked examples and end-of-chapter exercises with detailed solutions・giving students the opportunity to apply previously introduced techniques to chemically related problems. It is an ideal course companion for chemistry courses throughout the length of a degree. Features ◾ This book covers the difficult area of mathematics in an easy-to-read format for students and professionals in chemistry and related subjects. ◾ Structured according to chemical rather than mathematical topics. ◾ Each topic has at least 12 end of chapter applied chemistry problems to provide practice in applying the techniques to real chemistry. ◾ Indexing of material by both chemical and mathematical topics. ◾ Extends its utility as a concise and practical reference for professionals in a wide array of scientific disciplines involving chemistry.

It is now possible to enter a chemistry degree course at many UKuniversities without any formal maths training beyond age 16.Addressing this deficiency requires students to take additionalmathematics training when entering university, yet the relevance ofmaths to chemistry is often poorly appreciated by chemistrystudents. In addition, many service courses are either tooabstract, or aimed at physicists and engineers, for students ofchemistry, who are not inclined to study mathematical techniquesper se and do not make the connection between the maths theyare taught and the chemistry they want to study. Based on the successful at a Glance approach, withintegrated double page presentations explaining the mathematicsrequired by undergraduate students of chemistry, set in context bydetailed chemical examples, this book will be indispensable to allstudents of chemistry. By bringing the material together in thisway the student is shown how to apply the maths and how it relatesto familiar concepts in chemistry. By including problems (withanswers) on each presentation, the student is encouraged topractice both the mathematical manipulations and the application toproblems in chemistry. More detailed chemical problems at the endof each topic illustrate the range of chemistry to which the mathsis relevant and help the student acquire sufficient confidence toapply it when necessary.

Chemistry 2e is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the two-semester general chemistry course. The textbook provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of chemistry and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. The book also includes a number of innovative features, including interactive exercises and real-world applications, designed to enhance student learning. The second edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Substantial improvements have been made in the figures, illustrations, and example exercises that support the text narrative. Changes made in Chemistry 2e are described in the preface to help instructors transition to the second edition.
