"What is chemical equilibrium, and how does it work? This ... series uses real-world examples and analogies to offer an in-depth look at both the concepts and applications of equilibrium. Sample problems are provided." (container).

Many students now begin life and medical science degrees with far less knowledge of chemistry than they need - and they struggle as a result. Catch Up Chemistry brings students up to speed with the subject quickly and easily. The book puts the essential chemistry into real biological context and is written in an extremely student-friendly manner: the text is concise and to the point; the equations are clearly laid out and explained.

In its Sixth Edition, this acclaimed text continues to be the student-friendly clinical chemistry text available, featuring clear explanations that strike just the right balance of analytic principles, techniques, and the correlation of results with disease states. All chapters have been thoroughly updated with the latest information as well as new case studies, practice questions, and exercises. This latest edition not only covers the how of clinical...

This program familiarizes students with the features of acids and bases, and discusses their physical and chemical properties. The pH scale is introduced with examples of strong and weak acids and bases and the concept of neutral substances is explored. The use of indicators to test the pH of acids and bases is explained, as well as showing the variety of indicators available and their specific uses. Students are shown how to make their own red cabbage...

This program analyzes current research regarding chemical use and abuse, and the nature of addiction and dependency, whatever the substance.

"Like the previous editions, this substantially revised and updated Third Edition has been written to provide readers with a solid understanding of the general chemical principles underlying natural water chemistry: chemical thermodynamics and kinetics, acids and bases, dissolved carbon dioxide, atmosphere-water interactions, metal ions in aqueous solutions, precipitation and dissolution, oxidation and reduction, equilibria, and the solid-solution...

In this video lesson, Paul Andersen explains the important properties of solutions. A solution can be either a solid, liquid or gas but it must be homogeneous in nature. The solutes can not be separated with a filter and so either chromatography or distillation must be used. Molarity is the number of moles of a solute in a solution. A simple molar solution preparation is also included.--Publisher.

Solution chemistry provides tools to measure the concentration of components of solutions, like the CO2 levels in ocean water. The majority of chemical reactions happen in solutions. For example, when we breathe, the nitrogen in the air dissolves in our blood. Henry's Law gives us the power to predict, prevent, and treat "the bends," a life-threatening condition that can happen to SCUBA divers when nitrogen in the blood comes out of solution and forms...
