A book of general chemistry problems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the quality of a particular chemistry textbook, noting its thorough explanations but criticizing the inaccuracies in the exercise problems' answers, which have led to confusion among students. The professor has acknowledged these issues and reached out to the publisher for a revised answer key. In search of reliable resources, participants suggest alternative college-level general chemistry problem sets, including Schaum's Outline of General Chemistry, 3,000 Solved Problems in Chemistry, and REA's Chemistry Problem Solver. While the suggesters have not personally used these alternatives, they have received positive feedback and are considered affordable options. Users are encouraged to review these books on platforms like Amazon before making a purchase.

Our chemistry book is a good textbook. It explains things well and in depth. The problem I have with it, however, is the exercise problems. Enough of the answers in the back of the book are wrong that it causes confusion with the proper way to solve certain problems (professor agrees and has sent an email to the publisher to see if a revised answer list is going to be made accessible). The book was probably rushed through production...but whatever the problem was, I need a reliable set of exercises with correct answers to check my work.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good book of college-level general chemistry problem sets?

You might check out Schaum's outline of general chemistry, or 3,000 solved problems in chemistry, also from Schaum's, or REA's Chemistry Problem Solver. I have not used any of them myself, so I can't vouch for complete accuracy, but I've heard good things about them and they are all relatively inexpensive. Preview some pages and check out the reviews on Amazon.
 
Thank you very much for those suggestions. I'll research those books and hopefully buy one or two.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
