Chemistry workbook for dummies

This useful book will be of benefit to post-16 students who want to practise the different type of chemical calculations met at AS-level and beyond. The content is divided into five parts (22 chapters) and these are clearly explained in the introductory pages, eg part one - Getting cosy with numbers, atoms and elements  - emphasises how chemists must handle numbers with care and according to certain rules. 

Icons in the margins guide students through the most important aspects of that chapter, eg  the 'remember' icon highlights what they must know while the 'warning' icon tells them to pay attention or they will struggle to understand. There are numerous worked examples and the detailed solutions provided would be useful to keen independent learners who want to improve their understanding of a topic. There are plenty of additional exercises at the end of each chapter and, more importantly, rather than just giving numerical answers, the authors provide a brief outline of how the solutions are derived.
