Quick Navigation

Overview

The tenth edition of this market-leading text has been substantially revised to meet the rapidly changing instructional demands of GENERAL CHEMISTRY professors. Known for its carefully developed, thoroughly integrated, step-by-step approach to problem solving, GENERAL CHEMISTRY helps students master quantitative skills and build a lasting conceptual understanding of key chemical concepts. The tenth edition retains this hallmark approach and builds on the conceptual focus through key new features and revisions.

What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Beautiful new book design that is user friendly, but also conveys the sense of excitement surrounding chemistry that the author team wants students to see!
  • Heavily revised art and photography program that helps highlight the excitement of chemistry while explaining key concepts. New talking labels have been added to the art and photos. These talk students through the figure and explain what they are seeing--what they need to know.
  • A new pedagogical feature has been added to all of the examples that are woven throughout the book. The new feature in the examples is called the "Gaining Mastery Toolbox." Every tool box contains "Critical Concepts" and "Solution Essentials." Critical Concepts are concepts from the relevant chapter that the student needs to know in order to work through the example. The Solution Essential segment features a list of information needed to solve the problem presented--for example, a student may need the periodic table, Avogadro's number, etc.
  • Many new and revised end-of-chapter problems and questions including a new type of strategy problem.
  • TWO TIER questions are ones that ask a student a question and then they must choose the answer. The second tier question is where they choose why they chose that answer. Students often choose the correct answer but not the correct reason they answered it correctly, which reveals that they do not under the concept being demonstrated
