About this title

Synopsis

This best-selling text, GENERAL CHEMISTRY by Whitten/Davis/Peck/Stanley, is best summarized by "classic text, modern presentation." This simple phrase underlies its strong emphasis is on fundamental skills and concepts. As in previous editions, clearly explained problem-solving strategies continue to be the strength of this student-friendly text. This revision builds on the highly praised style and applications to everyday life that have earned this text a reputation as the voice of authority in general chemistry. Whitten always has been viewed as one of the few truly "traditional" general chemistry texts. Examples of this are that the text covers Thermodynamics, normally a topic split into two parts and covered in two different semesters, in one chapter and begins the second half of the course. GENERAL CHEMISTRY, Seventh Edition also follows a standard narrative-example-problem format, has a solid traditional writing style, and promotes problem solving. However, the authors have added some new elements over the years to reflect changes in chemical education. These include adding in conceptual questions in the problem sets, adding features like the Chemistry In Use boxes to show how chemistry is used in daily life, and further promoting problem solving by including hints and checks for students.

Review

"General Chemistry with Qualitative Analysis... is a mature and polished sixth edition...The bright and colourful text is carefully organised to aid both the student and teacher involved in the course with a large number of worked examples and chapter-by-chapter exercises. The pedagogical approach is extended to the use of colour coding of chemical concepts such as oxidation/reduction and repeated sidebar references to the recommended multimedia CD. Another innovation in this edition is the inclusion of a number of stereo images that may be viewed with the special glasses supplied..." - from Peter Hamilton, a reader in physical chemistry, Queen Mary and Westerfield College, University of London.
