Chemistry ISE

Chemistry continues a long-standing tradition of providing a firm foundation in the concepts of chemical principles while instilling an appreciation for the important role chemistry plays in our daily lives. This text provides a balance of theory and application, while illustrating the principles with applicable examples. With this release, no longer will students be confused about which particular chemical value to employ in a calculation when using ALEKS. The data between the print text, eBook, and ALEKS are now parallel with one another. Numerous tables, figures, and problems throughout the text have been updated to mirror the data in ALEKS, thereby presenting unified chemical data.
