Chemistry The Science in Context
Use the text designed to develop your students’ problem solving skills
The Third Edition of Chemistry provides an effective and easy-to-remember problem-solving strategy while placing the science in biological, cosmological, geological, and environmental context. All chemistry students face similar challenges but they use their textbook to meet those challenges in different ways. Some read chapters from beginning to end, some consult the book as a reference, and some look to the book for problem-solving help. Chemistry: The Science in Context, Third Edition was written and designed to help every kind of student, regardless of how they use the book.
An extensive teaching and learning package reinforces the book's emphasis on developing good problem-solving skills, from the SmartWork online tutorial and homework system to the animated and interactive ChemTours. COAST, an easy-to-remember and proven problem-solving strategy: COAST (Collect and Organize, Analyze, Solve, and Think about it) is introduced in the first chapter and consistently applied throughout every Sample Exercise.
When finishing a chapter or studying for an exam, students want a quick reference to confirm they’ve mastered how to solve each type of problem in a chapter. Chemistry’s Problem-Solving Summary provides a quick reference that includes type of problem, how to solve it, and references to Sample Exercises that model the approach.
