Guided Inquiry for General Chemistry provides students with an interactive introduction to key concepts in chemistry. This workbook covers all of the topics and ideas presented within a first-year chemistry course for science majors. Short chapters guide students to understanding through simple questions, followed by more advanced practice exercises designed to be completed in a group setting with instructor assistance. Each chapter introduces readers to fundamental chemistry concepts, challenges them to think and reflect on those concepts, and examines essential applications of those concepts. Topics in the book include atomic structure, bonding, Lewis dot structures, nomenclature, chemical reaction types, stoichiometry, states of matter, kinetics, equilibrium, energetics, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Each chapter features explicitly stated learning outcomes, a list of prerequisite chapters that will assist readers in their understanding of the current chapter, background information with guiding questions, and application questions to facilitate learning and retention. Comprehensive and approachable in nature, Guided Inquiry for General Chemistry is designed for first-year chemistry courses at the university level but is also well suited for introductory and high school chemistry courses.

General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria Student Solution Manual, Volume 2 is a companion solution manual to General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 2. Original problems from the textbook are included alongside detailed explanations and useful base knowledge required to successfully solve each problem. The material in this manual implements the innovative presentation of the material given in the companion textbook. Unlike nearly all chemistry solution manuals on the market, this volume is written by one of the textbook authors. This solutions manual can also be used as a source of additional problems to supplement any foundational chemistry text or course, including AP chemistry. It provides students with ample opportunity to build knowledge and mastery of basic chemistry concepts.

General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 2 introduces students to foundational concepts in chemistry with emphasis on real-world application. Throughout the text, students learn how the study of chemistry supports material science, forensics, medicine, and other disciplines. The text is a continuation of Volume 1 of the same name. This volume includes 11 chapters that can be taught traditionally or in a non-linear fashion. Topics include kinetics, chemical and acid-base equilibrium, and solubility and complex ion equilibria. Dedicated chapters address thermodynamics and equilibrium, electrochemistry and equilibrium, transition metals and coordination chemistry, nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry and biotechnology. The book features problems that span multiple chapters, topic boxes that contain worked examples, concurrent presentation of the VSEPR and Valence Bond theories to allow each to reinforce the other, and integration of environmental topics within distinct sections of appropriate chapters. Introductions, summaries, problems, application examples, and meaningful appendices further facilitate student learning, rendering General Chemistry an ideal textbook for foundational chemistry courses.
