This bestselling text continues to lead the way with a strong focus on current issues, pedagogically rich framework, wide variety of medical and biological applications, visually dynamic art program, and exceptionally strong and varied end-of-chapter problems. Revised and updated throughout, the eleventh edition now includes new biochemistry content, new Chemical Connections essays, new and revised problems, and more. Most end of chapter problems are now available in the OWLv2 online learning system. - See more at: http://www.cengage.com/search/productOverview.do?Ntt=bettelheim|32055039717924713418311458721577017661&N=16&Ntk=APG%7CP_EPI&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial#Overview Features to highlight: Updated and new Chemical Connection boxes featuring the latest hot topics in general, organic and biochemistry. New Challenge Problems--these problems test understanding of important concepts by building on material presented in earlier chapters. For example in chapter 4 the challenge problems draw of material introduced in chapters 1-4. General Chemistry: Chapter 1--Emphasis on solving healthcare application conversion problems related to a clinical setting. Chapter 4, Chemical Reactions, introduces the various intricacies in writing and balancing chemical reactions before stoichiometry is introduced. This chapter includes the How To box, How to Balance a Chemical Equation, which illustrates a step-by-step method for balancing an equation. Twenty-three new challenge problems were added. Expanded the list of common organic functional groups to include amides and presented a schematic of a tripeptide to show the importance of amide bonds in the structure of polypeptides and proteins. Expanded the discussion of the reactions of phenols to include the oxidation of phenols to quinones and the use of the hydroquinone to quinone interconversion in black-and-white photography and continuing with role of Coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) in the respiratory chain as a carrier of electrons and concluding with the structure of vitamin K and its role in blood clotting. Problem-Solving Strategies: To help students organize the information to solve a problem, each chapter example includes a description of the strategy used to arrive at the solution. Visual Impact: Many illustrations have heightened pedagogical impact. Figures such as Figures 6.4 (Henry’s Law) and 6.11 (electrolytic conductance) show the microscopic and macroscopic aspects of a topic under discussion. Chemical Connections: More than 150 essays with photos describe applications of chemical concepts presented in the text, linking the chemistry to their real uses. In addition, application boxes cover diverse topics such as diseases, drugs, and biochemical pathways. Chapter Summaries: At the end of each chapter, restated key questions are followed by summary paragraphs that highlight the concepts associated with the questions. "How To" Boxes: Emphasizing the skills students need to master the material, "How To" boxes cover such topics as "How to Determine the Number of Significant Figures in a Number" (Chapter 2) and "How to Interpret the Value of the Equilibrium Constant, K" (Chapter 7).
