Product Description
Retaining the user-friendly style that made the original popular, this updated edition continues to provide a grounding in the aspects of chemistry that developing life scientists need to understand biochemical and biomedical research. This edition adds new chapters, including one on water, covering the mole concept and colloids; another on gases, discussing pressure, solubility, and diffusion; and still another chapter on metals, covering properties, carriers, biocatalysis, and toxicity. Each topic is clearly tied to numerical considerations and core concepts. Critical information is reinforced through worked examples and questions.A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Presents short topics tied to numerical or conceptual ideas, reinforced with worked examples and questions
Retaining the user-friendly style of the first edition, this text is designed to eliminate the knowledge gap for those life sciences students who have not studied chemistry at an advanced level. It contains new chapters on –
· Water, covering the mole concept and colloids
· Gases, discussing pressure, gas laws, partial pressure, solubility of gases, and diffusion
· Metals in biology, including properties, oxygen carriers, biocatalysis, charge carriers, and toxicity
The authors divide their analysis of carbon compounds into two chapters. One focuses exclusively on aliphatic carbon compounds, while the other provides a greatly expanded exploration of aromatic carbon compounds, isomerism, amines and amino acids, including benzene, aromaticity, types of isomerism, and absolute configuration. With a current examination of organic and biological reactions, this instructional volume also features end-of-chapter questions and provides a solutions manual for qualified instructors.
