Opis

The 9th edition of Malone's Basic Concepts of Chemistry provides many new and advanced features that continue to address general chemistry topics with an emphasis on outcomes assessment. New and advanced features include an objectives grid at the end of each chapter which ties the objectives to examples within the sections, assessment exercises at the end each section, and relevant chapter problems at the end of each chapter. Every concept in the text is clearly illustrated with one or more step by step examples. Making it Real essays have been updated to present timely and engaging real-world applications, emphasizing the relevance of the material they are learning. This edition continues the end of chapter Student Workshop activities to cater to the many different learning styles and to engage users in the practical aspect of the material discussed in the chapter. WileyPLUS sold separately from text.

Water soft and flowing. Salt hard and brittle. These two very different substances are intimately involved in life processes where, together, they play a key role in many critical functions. Central to this role is the ability of water to lift the basic salt particles from the solid into the liquid medium as illustrated on this cover. The Dead Sea in Israel, as shown on the front cover, represents a very rare phenomenon where the two can coexist. The water in the Dead Sea has so much dissolved salt that it can hold no more. As a result, spectacular pillars of salt crystals line the shores. The composition of water and salt and how they interact are among the fascinating subjects in the study of chemistry.
