General Chemistry for Beginners

AI Thread Summary
For those looking to start studying chemistry, several recommended books cater to beginners seeking a solid foundation. "Fundamentals of Chemistry" by David Goldberg is highlighted as a strong choice, particularly for introductory courses aimed at chemistry process majors. "Intro Chem" by Charles Corwin is also mentioned as a decent option. As learners progress to higher levels, "Chemistry" by Silberberg is suggested for its comprehensive coverage. Additionally, "University Chemistry" by Bruce H. Mahan is recommended as a solid introductory textbook. These resources provide a pathway from basic concepts to more advanced topics in chemistry.

Hello everyone.

I'm looking to get into Chemistry. I took a general chemistry course in high school which I apprecciated very much but that was years ago.

Thanks again :-)

I would hardly recommend you a general chemistry introductory course book:

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
