Charles H. Corwin has spent over 30 years teaching chemistry to over 10, students. He has taught general chemistry, organic chemistry, and quantitative analysis, but has focused primarily on introductory chemistry for the personal rewards it offers.

Early in his career, he was awarded a National Science Foundation grant to study instructional innovations at Grand Valley State University.

Currently, he is a professor of chemistry at American River College, where he was recognized as Teacher of the Year in He is also the recipient of an Alumni Teaching award from Purdue University.

The Sixth Edition features new environmental icons to alert students to recycle chemical waste, updated prelabs and postlabs, new experimental procedures, a new experiment Experiment 25 and a new appendix on how to keep a laboratory notebook.

A set of objectives helps students focus on experimental activities. A list of equipment and chemicals organizes the experimental materials. Discussions include example exercises to show students how to perform the calculations associated with each quantitative procedure.

Time-tested procedures and unknowns give good results, helping students build confidence and an appreciation for chemistry in the laboratory. Alerts to procedures that should be performed carefully and prelaboratory questions regarding safety are provided.

To ensure student safety, operations that present even minimal danger have been avoided. Line art illustrations demonstrate techniques for reading a metric ruler, graduated cylinder, thermometer, and buret; and instructions for using a laboratory burner, platform balance, beam balance, electronic balance, and volumetric pipet. Updated Prelaboratory Assignments that are detachable and can be submitted to the instructor before starting the experiment. Postlaboratory Assignments are also detachable and can be submitted to the instructor after finishing the experiment.

New to This Edition. Environmental icons to alert students to recycle chemical waste appear throughout.

I nstructor Demonstrations are provided for procedures that reduce chemical waste. Experimental Procedures are included that simplify tasks and provide a better workflow. A new experiment, a comprehensive review of lab techniques as a practical final exam, has been added Experiment A laboratory notebook Appendix H has been added. Updated prelaboratory experiments to help students prepare for an experimen t have been added.

Updated postlaboratory experiments to synthesize the principles in an experiment are now included. About the Author s. Previous editions. Sign In We're sorry!

The most comprehensive problem solving support available is provided —Includes visual problem-solving strategies, problem-solving organizers, a plethora of exercises, and media animation.

Problem Solving Organizers are found at the end of the chapters dealing with calculations. In the first column is a synposis of the types of calculations in the chapter. In the second column is the correct procedure for solving each type of problem covered in the chapter. In the third column is an illustrated example of the problem type.

The final problem set at the end of each chapter is a Chapter Self-Test , which includes Review Exercises multiple-choice , Key Concepts questions short answer , and Critical-Thinking questions short answer. Using the unit analysis method, the Two-Column Example Exercises show students a logical way to apply the three-step problem solving access in the worked-out example problems.

Concepts, Critical Thinking, and Pedagogy Key Concepts help students identify the core concepts of chemistry and guide their conceptual understanding of these topics. In Corwin's text, the two representations are presented together. They familiarize students with motivational, real-world applications that emphasize the important role of chemistry in everyday life.

Cumulative review sections encourage students to integrate related chemical concepts and topics across more than one chapter. New to This Edition. New Concept Exercises to accompany each example exercise and practice exercise. The concept exercise serves to present the topic at a higher level, whereas the example exercises and practice exercises are specific in nature.

An extensively revised design and layout includes refined colors and style of rendering to achieve a new level of sophistication in illustrations and photographs. The molecular art program has been enhanced significantly by providing molecular structures for chemical formulas and chemical reactions. This visual presentation not only enhances interest in the topics, but adds an effective pedagogical tool for understanding concepts that students find difficult to grasp.

A more flexible chapter construction enables a seamless presentation of alternate sequences. For example, chemical bonding Chapter 11 can immediately follow atomic theory and periodicity Chapters 5 and 6. MasteringChemistry steps students through problem solving while promoting understanding of chemical concepts outside of the classroom. At a glance, professors can see class distribution of grades, time spent, most difficult problems, most difficult steps and even the most common answer.
