Synopsis

The CliffsStudySolver workbooks combine 20 percent review material with 80 percent practice problems (and the answers!) to help make your lessons stick.

CliffsStudySolver Chemistry is for students who want to reinforce their knowledge with a learn-by-doing approach. Inside, you’ll get the practice you need to learn Chemistry with problem-solving tools such as

• Clear, concise reviews of every topic
• Practice problems in every chapter — with explanations and solutions
• A diagnostic pretest to assess your current skills
• A full-length exam that adapts to your skill level

A glossary, examples of calculations and equations, and situational tasks can help you practice and understand chemistry. This workbook also covers measurement, chemical reactions and equations, and matter — elements, compounds, and mixtures. Explore other aspects of the language including

• Formulas and ionic compounds
• Gases and the gas laws
• Atoms
• The mole — elements and compounds
• Solutions and solution concentrations
