Overview
A text that truly embodies its name, CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE connects the chemistry students learn in the classroom (principles) with real-world uses of chemistry (practice). The authors accomplish this by starting each chapter with an application drawn from a chemical field of interest and revisiting that application throughout the chapter. The Case Studies, Practice of Chemistry essays, and Ethics in Chemistry questions reinforce the connection of chemistry topics to areas such as forensics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and industry.
- Each chapter begins with an opening application drawn from a chemical field of interest, which is revisited throughout the chapter.
- Worked Examples include problem flow diagrams that map out the problem-solving process in a graphical manner, aiding students in developing problem-solving thought processes and strategies. Many examples use color to aid students in showing how the initial data in the problem is transformed through the various steps of the problem to the answer
- Case Studies are multi-pronged, multi-step problems that examine real world uses of chemistry. Summary Problems focus on a problem of chemical interest and draw on material from the entire chapter for their solutions.
- Ethics in Chemistry questions, located at the end of each chapter before the problem sets, emphasize the human side of chemistry and remind students that chemistry is not just a set of facts. These questions discuss the ethical issues and dilemmas scientists face in practicing their profession. They also are good exercises for schools that have a writing-across-the-curriculum requirement.
- ENHANCED ONLINE LEARNING: The #1 online homework and learning system for chemistry, OWLv2, is available for this text--and now features more flexible student and instructor functionality, new personalized study tools, enhanced integration with learning management systems, and improved analytics. OWLv2 for this text also includes Quick Prep, an online short course that reviews key chemistry concepts and essential skills, and interactive versions of the text’s end-of-chapter questions, tutors, visualizations, and simulations.
- This book presents chemistry concepts in an experimental context by demonstrating how the facts and theories have come from many years of experimentation. This is emphasized in the text with margin icons.
- Each section begins with a set of Learning Objectives and ends with an Objectives Review. The exercises also are grouped by objectives.
- Principles of Chemistry essays expand and/or reinforce important topics discussed in the book. Practice of Chemistry essays are real-world applications of chemistry; i.e., why and how chemists and other professionals use chemistry in their jobs and daily lives.
- The text includes approximately 2000 Questions and Exercises. Questions are qualitative in nature, often conceptual, and include problem-solving skills. Questions that are suitable for a brief writing exercise are designated with the symbol of a pencil. The more-challenging items are designated with a triangle. The text also has end-of-chapter exercises available in OWLv2.
- OWLv2 INTEGRATION: Featuring chemist-developed content, OWLv2 is the most trusted online learning solution for chemistry and is the only system designed to elevate thinking through Mastery Learning, allowing students to work at their own pace until they understand each concept and skill. Each time a student tries a problem, OWLv2 changes the chemistry, values, and sometimes even the wording of the question to ensure that students are learning the concepts and not cheating the system. With detailed, instant feedback and interactive learning resources, students get the help they need when they need it.
