Designed to demystify chemistry for the non-chemist, Rapid Review
of Chemistry for the Life Sciences and Engineering is a useful
reference manual for life scientists and engineers, who may have
forgotten a formula, principle, or concept in the college chemistry
taken a few years ago. With over 100 solved examples, from
balancing chemical reactions, doing stoichiometry, and
understanding nomenclature rules in both organic and inorganic
chemistry, to calculating half-lives in kinetics or radioactive
decay schemes, understanding colligative properties of solutions,
and interpreting toxicities of hazardous materials, this book is
intended to make reviewing and understanding chemistry much clearer
and easier. Relevant diagrams are in color and solved examples are
organized by subject/topic and cross-referenced by page and chapter
number. It may also serve as a concise go-to sidekick for students,
who are not chemistry majors, taking chemistry at the college level
and having difficulty understanding the scope, focus, language, or
equations in their chemistry textbook. Armed with select,
contemporary applications, it is written in the hope to bridge a
gap between chemists and non-chemists, so that they may communicate
with and understand each other. Chapters 1-10 are designed to
contain the standard material in an introductory college chemistry
course. Chapters 11-15 present applications of chemistry that
should interest and appeal to scientists and engineers engaged in a
variety of fields. Additional features More than 100 solved
examples clearly illustrated and explained with SI units and
conversion to other units using conversion tables included Assists
the reader to understand organic and inorganic compounds along with
their structures, including isomers, enantiomers, and congeners of
organic compounds Provides a quick and easy access to basic
chemical concepts and specific examples of solved problems Ideal
sidekick for students who are non-chemistry majors taking intro.
college chemistry, needing clear, concise explanations This
concise, user-friendly review of general and organic chemistry with
environmental applications will be of interest to all disciplines
and backgrounds.
