Basic Chemistry, 5/e
Basic Chemistry introduces students to the essential scientific and mathematical concepts of general chemistry. With accessible language and a moderate pace, the text is easy-to-follow for first-time chemistry students, as well as those hoping to renew their studies of the subject. In the Fifth Edition, Bill and Karen Timberlake carefully develop core ideas while relating them to the possibility of future careers. The book guides students through basic chemistry problem solving with engaging visuals and a focus on developing the math skills necessary to be successful in the course. End of chapter questions strategically promote integration of cumulative ideas, allowing students to develop a strong foundation for learning chemistry and encouraging them to continue their studies in the field.
Features:
- Guides to Problem Solving (GPS) illustrate the steps needed to solve a problem and provide a visual guide for students to use in solving future problems.
- NEW! “Try It First” feature precedes the Solution section of each Sample Problem, encouraging students to work on the problem before reading the given Solution and helping them learn to recall new ideas.
- NEW! Connect features specify information that relates the Given and Need sections in Analyze the Problems to help students identify and connect the components within a word problem and set up a solution strategy.
- NEW! Follow-Up Stories provide follow-up to the discussion in the chapter opener and include application questions.
- Analyze the Problems convert a word problem into components for problem solving.
