Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is one of the most confusing chemistry books I have ever read. The chapter summaries are two pages of fill-in-the blank guesswork, half-referencing the material in the book. Literally, most of it is a blank essay with a few sentences expecting you to fill in. The problems and questions section references sections in the book which contain no relation to the current problem. I actually had one problem that wasn't even written as a question or problem. The problem was written as "In a 1 molar solution of acetic acid, only about .5 percent of the acid is ionized to produce acetate ion and a hydrogen ion." No questions, or math or stoichiometry. That was it.
The book has a lot of available information, but it's such a jumbled horrible mess it's hard to really get anything worth obtaining. I got this book for my environmental class, and the teacher thinks it's a good idea to assign most of his homework from it. I got much more from Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity, I'd rather have had that as the assigned book for class.
I'm pretty ticked I was forced to waste my money on this crap.
