CH 1020: Chemical Reactions: Books

This book starts off with simple and basic chemical reactions in everyday life and eventually progresses to more complex chemical reactions. It also includes chemical equations and how to balance them.

This textbook can supplement your course textbook. It has plenty of content related to chemical reactions and an application and problem-solving approach. The end of each chapter has conceptual, numerical, and applications questions and problems. It helps you transition from memorization to more thorough understanding of concepts and recognition of important trends and patterns. It will allow you to apply concepts further and prepare you for more advanced courses and projects.

This book has critical thinking points and problems with detailed explanations throughout each chapter. It is also supplemented with videos to view as an additional way of helping students learn. One of the authors of this book, Bruce Bursten, is part of the faculty at WPI.

Many chemical reactions involve liquid phases. This book goes into more depth about how solvents are involved in chemical reactions.

This book provides a basic foundational level of knowledge in chemistry and integrates chemistry with engineering and other science disciplines. One of the authors, the late Herbert Beall, taught at WPI.

This resource is a full-length online textbook that has interactive problems and real-world applications. You can view any part of the textbook online, download, or purchase the book. You can even create a login to highlight in the text.

This book goes into depth about properties and interactions of colloids on the nanoscale level and application in synthesis of a variety of materials.
