Description: What a great idea - an introductory chemistry text that connects you to the workplace of practicing chemists and chemical technicians! Tying chemistry fundamentals to the reality of industrial life, Chemistry: An Industry-Based Introduction with CD-ROM covers all the basic principles of chemistry including formulas and names, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, solutions, and more. It includes scale-ups from the lab bench, examples of industrial significance, and interviews with actual workers in industry. Each chapter provides side boxes and exercises that connect the material to the industrial workplace. The innovative layout of topics incorporates organic chemistry early and addresses concepts requiring algebra and math beginning with the seventh chapter. There are dozens of introductory chemistry texts available, but this is the only one that gives you a look at what really goes on in the chemist's world of work - and does it with ease! Chemistry: An Industry-Based Introduction with CD-ROM also comes with an exciting, innovative and interactive CD-ROM that provides 40 review questions per chapter and animation, sound, and artwork to help you visualize the concepts. It also sets up a virtual workplace in which you face real-life scenarios and discovers their solutions. The entire package, with CD-ROM, side boxes, and practical assignments, provides an innovative approach for a self-study guide and reference.
