Unless you are using this course with someone else and they have the Answer Key and Tests manual you may want to order the set not just the textbookDiscovering Design with Chemistry is a high school chemistry course designed for students who have completed Algebra 1. This independent-study college-preparatory course covers fundamental aspects of chemistry such as the classification of matter atomic structure spectroscopy chemical bonding molecular geometry physical change chemical change stoichiometry solutions ideal gases acid/base chemistry reduction/oxidation reactions thermochemistry thermodynamics kinetics and chemical equilibrium. Weaving together concepts and their mathematical applications the course teaches students how to think as a chemist so they can analyze the major changes that occur in matter.The course contains 46 separate experiments that illustrate various concepts being explored. Many are quantitative in nature including measuring the wavelength of microwaves determining the number of water molecules in a hydrated compound calculating percent yield measuring the concentration of a hydrogen peroxide solution determining the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar measuring the specific heat of a metal and determining the change in enthalpy for a chemical reaction. Others are qualitative such as performing flame tests examining the interference of light waves comparing metals to nonmetals exploring Boyle’s Law doing litmus tests and electroplating.Throughout the course the student is shown how chemistry reveals the amazing design that exists all around us.Binding type: Hardback
