The basic principles of chemistry are few in number yet powerful and wide ranging in their application. However, these principles are not usually mastered simply by reading about chemistry. They must be reinforced through laboratory practice and through problem solving. The purpose of this book is to make available a self-teaching and to master problem solving of a very broad range of problems encountered in chemistry.
This book is to assist students in developing insight into solving numerical problems in Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry by' offering solutions to various problems of every type, even difficult ones. These problems should be approached only after the relevant text of the chapters has been studied carefully. A serious individual effort should be made to solve the problems.
Key concepts before problems in every chapter are given, which will be useful to students for quick reference. Various charts for reactions of organic chemistry with also help to revise the reactions studied in text books.
The solutions of many different types of problems in thermo-chemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics and colligative properties of solutions are given. Problem solving in Chemistry requires an ability to defuse terms clearly to explain chemical phenomenon to represent chemical entities—atoms, irons, molecules, formulas and geometrical sketches; to graph data and interpret these graphs and so on. |
