Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Calculations of General Chemistry: With Definitions, Explanations, and Problems The justification for a book of this character is to be found in the realization that many of the mathematical applications of our fundamental conceptions in chemistry, even upon the most elementary points, remain uncomprehended by students several years advanced in the study of the science. The great attention given to the study of Physical Chemistry, and the far-reaching importance attached to the interpretation of chemical phenomena in the light of modern theories, make it absolutely essential that more time be given in the college courses on General Chemistry to these mathematical demonstrations. Unless a clear and concise exposition of the methods of calculation is presented in the very first course of college work, the progress of the student is greatly hindered. On the other hand, too great a mass of mathematical data may impede rather than promote this progress. The aim, therefore, has been to limit these calculations to those subjects generally regarded as fundamental, and in which the student should receive the most complete and thorough drill. Such may rightfully constitute our "Arithmetic of Chemistry." Of the many important subjects omitted, the greater number possess a theoretical bearing which brings them more properly into those courses following General and Analytical Chemistry or into the study of Physical Chemistry itself. The absence of mathematical training as a basis for the study of chemistry constitutes a widely prevailing defect in the education of chemists at the present day.

Download or read book How to Solve General Chemistry Problems written by Mitra Moazzen and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet is intended to help students taking "General Chemistry" (usually the first two semesters of college chemistry courses) prepare for there exams. The authors have taught general chemistry for over a decade and watched some students flourish while others fail. The book includes guidance on mathematical preparation, use of calculators, basic elements of chemical calculation and laboratory reports, and leads to a series of techniques that allow students to analyze complex word problems and work through these multi-step problems that often completely bewilder students on tests. We also make suggestions to our colleagues regarding teaching techniques, test preparation and grading.

Download or read book Mathematics for Physical Chemistry written by Robert G. Mortimer and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-06-10 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics for Physical Chemistry, Third Edition, is the ideal text for students and physical chemists who want to sharpen their mathematics skills. It can help prepare the reader for an undergraduate course, serve as a supplementary text for use during a course, or serve as a reference for graduate students and practicing chemists. The text concentrates on applications instead of theory, and, although the emphasis is on physical chemistry, it can also be useful in general chemistry courses. The Third Edition includes new exercises in each chapter that provide practice in a technique immediately after discussion or example and encourage self-study. The first ten chapters are constructed around a sequence of mathematical topics, with a gradual progression into more advanced material. The final chapter discusses mathematical topics needed in the analysis of experimental data. Numerous examples and problems interspersed throughout the presentations Each extensive chapter contains a preview, objectives, and summary Includes topics not found in similar books, such as a review of general algebra and an introduction to group theory Provides chemistry specific instruction without the distraction of abstract concepts or theoretical issues in pure mathematics
Download or read book Advancing Equity Amongst General Chemistry Students with Variable Preparations in Mathematics written by Vanessa Rosa Ralph and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing the inequities propagating the lack of representation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers has become a national imperative made increasingly complex given the inequitable preparations in science and mathematics students experience before college. A common institutional-level approach to promoting equity is the use of math and science prerequisites to prepare students who seek to enroll in lower-level STEM coursework. However, the literature does not support the efficacy of this approach, finding no substantive improvement to student performance despite considerable financial and time costs to students, instructors, and universities alike. Set in first-semester General Chemistry courses taken early in STEM degree programs, these works sought to identify and address the systems in place that contribute to inequitable STEM education and provide a cost-effective and research-based alternative to the prerequisite approach. Students were identified as at-risk by having scored in the bottom-quartile of math composite SAT or ACT scores (or 25% of the overall cohort). Often representative of students scoring near or below national averages on the SAT and ACT, at-risk students achieved 43.8% of failing grades (D, F, W) in chemistry courses and comprised only 9.9% of the A's awarded. Of these students at-risk, a disproportionate number self-identify as Black/African American or Hispanic/Latino suggesting that preparation in secondary-school mathematics, using SAT and ACT as a proxy, is not equitably achieved (or measured) by students of underrepresented minorities in the sciences. First, the impact of a collaborative pedagogy (peer-lead team learning) on student performance and equity was examined. Instructor-level differences were observed wherein student performance improved in 3 of the 4 instructors' classrooms when enacting peer-led team learning. Significant reductions in the equities observed between at-risk chemistry students and not-at-risk chemistry students were observed in classrooms of 2 of the 4 instructors. Then, student responses to 32 assessments spanning eight semesters were analyzed in first-semester General Chemistry classes at a large, doctorate-granting institution in the Southeastern United States. Students' performance on assessment items coded by topic presented a consistent pattern of differential performance on items designed to measure proficiencies with the mole concept and stoichiometry, a topic fundamental to student success in General Chemistry I and II in addition to Analytical Chemistry. In an analysis of students' solution processes to assessment items of these topics, differential performance could not be attributed to differences in conceptual understanding nor mathematical prowess, but rather the frequency in which students with higher math composite scores arrived at a correct answer using a chemically flawed or inaccurate solution process. Based on these results, we concluded that assessments of these topics may reward rote memorization without the conceptualization of procedural approaches to chemistry while simultaneously exacerbating the inequity observed between students of differing preparations in mathematics. Finally, to evaluate our recommendation of assessments that measure students' understanding of the topic beyond the application of procedural knowledge, heuristics, and algorithms, items were designed to encourage students' attention to and organization of their solution processes. Student performance (overall) improved by an average of 8.5% while reducing the differential performance observed of students at-risk by as much as 12.4% (more than one letter grade). These works contribute a variety of perspectives to science education, not the least of which is the importance of understanding the source of inequity before enacting intervention for a group of students to prevent unintended negative consequences. Implications include practical examples of assessment items reoriented from promoting a series of decontextualized algorithmic procedures toward those promoting the conceptualization of foundational science concepts. Future works seek to investigate the impact of these changes in assessment on student performance, retention, and equity when modeled in instruction and assessed throughout the semester.
