Conquering Chemistry

Revised edition of an authoritative and comprehensive text for senior chemistry students. It has been written to meet the requirements of the Preliminary and HSC courses in NSW. It covers all core topics as well as three HSC course electives. It is an in-depth coverage of the essential theory, containing numerous worked examples, and an extensive range of student exercises, from introductory to challenging. It provides clear explanations of the key aspects of succeeding at chemistry: to write down formulae for compounds; to write down chemical equations for common types of reactions; to do simple quantity calculations based on chemical equations. Includes exercises for each chapter, a set of answers, and an index.

A book scientifically designed to meet the requirement of readers who are undergraduate students preparing for various competitive exams. Comprising of over a hundred mind boggling conceptual problems dealing with the subject in depth and contains brief description of contents covered in problems . Apart from chapter modules , classification of problems are further divided into subtopics in each module to have a better insight of concepts involved. Book is purely a mathematical approach to deal and elaborate the area of physical chemistry. This book contains topics of common areas of physical chemistry asked in various engineering entrance examinations over the globe. After going through the book and solving the problems , student will have a better understanding of calculative approach used in physical chemistry along with the basic concepts involved. Also the book will equip the reader with concepts of physical chemistry so that reader can tackle difficult calculations involved in the subject.

The past, present, and future of green chemistry and green engineering From college campuses to corporations, the past decade witnessed a rapidly growing interest in understanding sustainable chemistry and engineering. Green Chemistry and Engineering: A Practical Design Approach integrates the two disciplines into a single study tool for students and a practical guide for working chemists and engineers. In Green Chemistry and Engineering, the authors—each highly experienced in implementing green chemistry and engineering programs in industrial settings—provide the bottom-line thinking required to not only bring sustainable chemistry and engineering closer together, but to also move business towards more sustainable practices and products. Detailing an integrated, systems-oriented approach that bridges both chemical syntheses and manufacturing processes, this invaluable reference covers: Green chemistry and green engineering in the movement towards sustainability Designing greener, safer chemical synthesis Designing greener, safer chemical manufacturing processes Looking beyond current processes to a lifecycle thinking perspective Trends in chemical processing that may lead to more sustainable practices The authors also provide real-world examples and exercises to promote further thought and discussion. The EPA defines green chemistry as the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green engineering is described as the design, commercialization, and use of products and processes that are feasible and economical while minimizing both the generation of pollution at the source and the risk to human health and the environment. While there is no shortage of books on either discipline, Green Chemistry and Engineering is the first to truly integrate the two.

This text is a chemistry problem solving resource appropriate for teachers and their students who are enrolled in high school Advanced Placement Chemistry or in a first-year college General Chemistry course. The book incorporates a chemistry problem solving plan, one that uses an innovative graphic organizer strategy. The strategy - successfully evaluated with students - combines problem solving processes with chemical concepts that will allow students to solve the most common and difficult problems encountered in the first year of chemistry. Topical problem solving will focus on limiting reactant stoichiometry, identifying types of chemical reactions, equilibrium, acid-base equilibria, and electrochemistry. Why would this resource be of interest to chemistry students? To be successful (to get into a well known college, medical school, physical therapy or graduate program) often requires that students get an "A" in your pre-requisite Introductory General Chemistry course. To make matters worse, many college professors feel that only a few students should get A grades, and therefore, they give difficult exams that many students fail; this is the weeding out process that every pre-health student is apprehensive about. To succeed in this competitive environment entails not just studying harder or longer, it means re-organizing textbook content so that it is meaningful to the student. This is the first text of its kind to employ a reliable, research-based strategy that incorporates a decision-based visual tool to solve chemistry textbook problems, ones that can make or break a career.
