The Study Guide and Full Solutions Manual explain in detail how the answers in-text and end-of-chapter problems are obtained. They also contain chapter summaries, study hints, and self-tests for each chapter.

This book is devoted to the quantitative electrochemical methods of analysis in solution. A theoretical knowledge of each method is discussed. The methods are illustrated with several examples covering a wide range of types of analysis. The book is divided in three parts. The first one is introductory. It recalls some definitions and some basic concepts of electrochemistry. The second part describes the methods themselves. Are studied voltametric methods, amperometry, potentiometry, conductometry, the electrogravimetry and coulometry. Some chapters are also dedicated to the chemical and electrochemical sensors. The third part consists in a supplementary theoretical knowledge of each method.

This text is different--by design. By relating fundamental concepts of general, organic, and biological chemistry to the everyday world, Jan Smith effectively engages students with bulleted lists, extensive illustrations, and step-by-step problem solving. Smith writes with an approach that delivers need-to-know information in a succinct style for today’s students. Armed with an excellent illustration program full of macro-to-micro art, as well as many applications to biological, medical, consumer, and environmental topics, this book is a powerhouse of learning for students.

Thermodynamics deals with energy levels and the transfer of energy between states of matter, and is therefore fundamental to all branches of science. This edition provides a relatively advanced treatment of the subject, specifically tailored for the interests of the Earth sciences. The first four chapters explain all necessary concepts, using a simple graphical approach. Throughout the rest of the book the author emphasizes the use of thermodynamics to construct mathematical simulations of real systems. This helps to make the many abstract concepts acceptable. Many computer programs are mentioned and used throughout the text, especially SUPCRT92, a widely used source of thermodynamic data. An associated website includes links to useful information sites and computer programs and problem sets. Building on the more elementary material in the first edition, this textbook will be ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in geology, geochemistry, geophysics and environmental science.
