A book of general chemistry problems?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the inadequacies of a specific general chemistry textbook, particularly regarding incorrect answers in the exercise problems. A professor has contacted the publisher about a potential revision of the answer list. Participants suggest alternative resources for reliable problem sets, including Schaum's Outline of General Chemistry, 3,000 Solved Problems in Chemistry, and REA's Chemistry Problem Solver. These alternatives are noted for their affordability and positive reviews, although personal endorsements are not provided.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with general chemistry concepts
  • Understanding of problem-solving techniques in chemistry
  • Ability to evaluate educational resources
  • Basic knowledge of textbook review processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Schaum's Outline of General Chemistry for comprehensive problem sets
  • Explore 3,000 Solved Problems in Chemistry for additional practice
  • Investigate REA's Chemistry Problem Solver for varied problem-solving strategies
  • Read reviews and previews of suggested books on Amazon for informed purchasing decisions
USEFUL FOR

Students studying general chemistry, educators seeking reliable teaching resources, and anyone looking for effective problem sets to enhance their chemistry skills.

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.
