Chemistry can be one of the more difficult subjects in school, mainly because memorization is crucial. It can be hard to memorize tons of facts and equations. A chemistry equations and answers guide does help students; some more than others. You can refer to the study guide to determine which formula is suitable to use for the question at hand. The more savvy student might consider one or more ways to creatively benefit from the guide. For example,...

"Elements of Chemistry" was first published in 1790 and is largely concerned with the chemistry of combustion. While modern students of chemistry might find the work limited in its scope, the historical impact of its publication cannot be understated. The experiments contained within helped to lay the foundation for the understanding of the role of oxygen, hydrogen, acids, and alcohols in chemical reactions and its emphasis on quantitative analysis...

One of the greatest experimental scientists of all time, Michael Faraday (1791–1867) developed the first electric motor, electric generator, and dynamo - essentially creating the science of electrochemistry. This book, the result of six lectures he delivered to young students at London's Royal Institution, concerns another form of energy - candlelight. Faraday titled the lectures "The Chemical History of a Candle," choosing the subject because,...

This straightforward presentation emphasizes chemical applications of thermodynamics as well as physical interpretations, offering students an introduction that's both interesting and coherent. It considers chemical behavior in terms of energy and entropy, and it explains the ways in which the magnitude of energy and entropy changes are dictated by atomic properties. All concepts are presented in a simplified mathematical context, making this an ideal...

En en el presente libro se explica cómo obtener cristales súper-planos utilizando un microscopio óptico pequeño.
Las sustancias a cristalizar se pueden preparar a partir de reactivos que se encuentran en el hogar (vitamina C, por ejemplo), como también en laboratorios de colegios o de universidades.
Las imágenes obtenidas permiten que nos planteemos la pregunta: ¿Se trata realmente de arte? Según el renombrado artista francés Marcel Duchamp...
