Basic Chemistry Concepts and Exercises John Kenkel Southeast Community College, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA

Chemistry can be a daunting subject for the uninitiated, and, all too often, introductory textbooks do little to make students feel at ease with the complex subject matter. Basic Chemistry Concepts and Exercises brings the wisdom of John Kenkel’s more than 30 years of teaching experience to communicate the fundamentals of chemistry in a practical, down-to-earth manner.

Using conversational language and logically assembled graphics, the book concisely introduces each topic without overwhelming students with unnecessary detail. Example problems and end-of-chapter questions emphasize repetition of concepts, preparing students to become adept at the basics before they progress to an advanced general chemistry course. Enhanced with visualization techniques such as the first chapter’s mythical microscope, the book clarifies challenging, abstract ideas and stimulates curiosity into what can otherwise be an overwhelming topic.

Topics discussed in this reader-friendly text include: • • • • • • • •

Properties and structure of matter Atoms, molecules, and compounds The Periodic Table Atomic weight, formula weights, and moles Gases and solutions Chemical equilibrium Acids, bases, and pH Organic chemicals

The appendix contains answers to the homework exercises so readers can check their work and receive instant feedback as to whether they have adequately grasped the concepts before moving on to the next section. Designed to help the audience embrace chemistry not with trepidation, but with confidence, this solid preparatory text establishes a firm foundation for more advanced chemistry training.

Industrial & Applied Chemistry Chemistry of Pyrotechnics Surface Activity of Petroleum Derived Lubricants

Basic Principles and Theory, Second Edition

Lilianna Z. Pillon

Chris Mocella

Petroleum Products Consulting, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada

Hundreds of lubricant additives are available industry-wide to improve base stock properties and protect metal surfaces; however, the wrong combination of these commodities can result in substandard performance. This volume explains how surface activity is affected by the interfacial properties of lube oil base stocks at oil/surface interfaces, lubricant solvency properties, additive interactions, and variations in temperature. The book provides an understanding of these factors that will influence proper selection of base stocks and additives necessary for resisting foaming and air entrainment, inhibiting rust and corrosion, preventing wear, and controlling emulsification and demulsification.

Chemical Thermodynamics and Information Theory with Applications

Dynamical Tunneling

Daniel J. Graham

Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur

Loyola University, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Thermodynamics, information, and computation permeate virtually all areas of chemistry. Yet the current presentations of thermodynamic fundamentals do not reflect relationship, as the physical chemistry curriculum digested by chemistry majors worldwide is still concentrated on advances more than a century old. This book offers lessons, tools, and exercises for students and instructors who wish to learn more about the intersection of thermodynamics and information theory. The examples are drawn from time-honored physical and organic chemistry.

The discussion is accessible to curiosity-driven chemists with basic knowledge of calculus and statistics.

Bringing together a prominent roster of 42 leading investigators and their teams, this volume details the wide range of theoretical and experimental knowledge that can be successfully applied for investigating nanosystems. The book provides researchers with a full examination of nano-disperse colloids, homogeneous and heterogeneous nano-structured materials (and their properties), and shelf-organization at the nanoscale. It explores non-linear lectrokinetic phenomena in nano-sized dispersions and nanosized biological systems. It discusses application aspects of technological processes in great detail, offering scientists and engineers across all fields authoritative commentary on colloid and interface science operating at the nanoscale.

Surface thermodynamics forms the foundation of any meaningful study of capillarity and wetting phenomena. This second edition provides students and researchers with fundamental knowledge and practical guidelines in solving real-world problems related to the measurement and interpretation of interfacial properties. New topics include recent progress in Axisymmetric Drop Shape Analysis (ADSA), contact angle hysteresis, contact angles on inert fluoropolymers, line tension, and the drop size dependence of contact angles.
