Overview
With new co-authors, Ebbing's GENERAL CHEMISTRY, 12th Edition, includes an enhanced problem-solving approach and revisions that reflect the diversity of modern chemistry, offering an approachable chemistry text that emphasizes step-by-step skill building. New homework assignments, powered by WebAssign, offer targeted feedback and tools to help students master core concepts.
- NEW for this edition, assignments in WebAssign help students master core concepts and understand their mistakes with answer-specific feedback and flexible support resources.
- NEW digital workbooks, available in WebAssign, integrate text, interactives and questions, offering a guided reading experience that helps students engage with the text.
- NEW four-part scaffolding of in-text examples use proven pedagogical strategies to help students develop problem-solving skills that can be applied to homework.
- NEW digital workbooks, available in WebAssign, offer ideal pre-lecture preparation or review, ensuring that students get the most out of their text. Digital workbooks integrate text, interactives and questions, offering a guided reading experience that makes sure students read and retain material from the text.
- NEW in-text examples use proven pedagogical strategies to help students develop problem-solving skills. Examples are scaffolded in four parts that students can replicate in their homework with the given problem, assessment of the goal, guidance to a solution and reflection that encourages students to assess their work and considers common mistakes and misconceptions.
- NEW biographical highlights of historical chemists, along with photographs, appear throughout the text. With this new material, students learn more about a diverse range of scientists whose research underpins many of the topics covered in the text. The variety of acclaimed scientists featured enables learners of varied backgrounds to see themselves as scientists.
- The 12th edition has been revised to introduce examples of current research in chemistry, including nanoscience, renewable energy, materials in chemistry and biochemistry. Examples include a discussion of modern techniques for measuring chemical composition, an illustration of laboratory techniques for growing diamonds, an exploration of the role of surfactants in nanomaterial synthesis and consideration of the OTop1 membrane receptor’s role in detecting sour foods.
- Co-authors Koeningsman and Wu have introduced a NEW approach to foundational topics in stoichiometry. Beginning in Chapter 3, the authors introduce a new flowchart with simple conversion factors such as Avogadro’s number and the molar mass, helping students visualize conversions among grams, moles and numbers of particles. Subsequent chapters expand the flowchart with concepts such as molarity, the ideal gas law end enthalpy.
- A wide variety of end-of-chapter problem types are available to meet the demands of today’s varied students. This includes “Conceptual Problems” to help the student understand the basic concepts. In addition to a wealth of basic problem sets, there are also “Strategy Problems” to challenge students and “Capstone Problems” that combine skills from earlier chapters. Co-authors Koeningsman and Wu have refreshed problems for this new edition, and exercises are now available in WebAssign.
- Textbook problems offer variety: Conceptual Problems focus on basic concepts, Strategy Problems challenge students, and Capstone Problems recall skills from previous chapters.
