Engineering Chemistry presents chemistry concepts most relevant to engineers and demonstrates them within an applied context. A thorough problem-solving and conceptually driven approach helps engineering students develop the quantitative and qualitative skills necessary to succeed in the course and in their fields. Features that emphasize skills, concepts, and engineering applications appear throughout each chapter, providing students with multiple opportunities to hone their understanding of chapter topics. For those students who need it, an introductory chapter, called "Fundamentals," provides a quick review of basic chemistry and math concepts. Key Features Worked Examples, titled for easy reference, address specific section topics and model a step-by-step approach to problem solving. Each example includes Plan and Implementation sections followed by a reference to related end-of-chapter exercises Apply It interactive exercises require students to apply concepts to real-life situations. One activity, for example, asks students to bend copper and steel wire to get a tangible sense of their properties The end-of-chapter material includes the Exercises The appendix presents a series of data tables and a list of Fundamental constants for reference throughout the course The book has 8 color plates which show the color version of certain figures Table Of Contents 1.
