As the car anticipates its dance around the racetrack, the engine
growls and pops, and all senses become immersed in the smell of
exhaust vapors and the sounds of raw speed and excitement. As it
turns out, these also are the sights, sounds, and smells of
chemistry! The car is a great example of an everyday device with an
abundance of chemistry hiding in plain sight. In fact, almost
everything in a car can be described from a chemical perspective.
Understanding Chemistry through Cars guides novice chemists and car
enthusiasts in learning basic chemical principles in an engaging
context. It also supports upper-level chemists in synthesizing
knowledge gained over a chemistry curriculum and seeing how it can
manifest in the real world. This book provides an overview of
chemistry in relation to cars. Various topics are discussed
including the ideal gas law, materials chemistry, thermochemistry,
solution chemistry, mass transport, polymerization, light/matter
interactions, and oxidation and reduction. The book incorporates
expected learning outcomes at the beginning of each section,
detailed and easy-to-follow example problems, appendices reviewing
basic chemical topics, suggestions on how to use the resource in
upper-level courses. Ancillary materials, such as a Twitter account
and an associated blog, allow readers to explore the latest in the
world of car chemistry, ask questions, and interact directly with
the authors and other experts.
