Synopsis

Work more effectively and gauge your progress as you go along! This Study Guide that is designed to accompany Snyder's "The Extraordinary Chemistry of Ordinary Things, 4th Edition", is an invaluable tool for the student, containing unusual, illustrative scenarios as well as the more traditional study-guide features, such as chapter overviews and solutions to the in-text questions. Also included are the worked-out solutions to the problems in the text along with additional exercises of the same nature and level of difficulty. Snyder's "The Extraordinary Chemistry of Ordinary Things, 4th Edition" is known in the market for its strong consumer emphasis in which it takes a unique approach by using consumer products to illustrate chemical principles. Each area - chemistry and consumerism - reinforces the other in examinations of gasoline and petroleum, detergents, foods and food additives, plastics, and more.
