Elementary Chemical Mathematics

About the Book

We perceive the physical world around us through our five senses. We can, for instance, make measurements of physical objects and processes and collect and organize the data—and organizing these observations is the first step toward knowledge. But all of this occurs in our “mental” world, where nothing is absolute—an insight that should prepare us to be open to changing our thoughts and ideas. In this chemistry workbook, you’ll be challenged to solve equations to further your understanding of chemistry. You’ll learn how matter transforms and changes into other substances and how its physical properties—can change. The workbook also explores the conservation of matter, the conservation of energy, and how the atomic hypothesis works. Throughout, you’ll be reminded why you should beware of “absolute truths”. Whether you’re a student, educator or professional, you’ll enjoy the equations and insights in Elementary Chemical Mathematics.
