This book provides an introduction to physical chemistry that is directed toward applications to the biological sciences. Advanced mathematics is not required. This book can be used for either a one semester or two semester course, and as a reference volume by students and faculty in the biological sciences.
This book is ideal for use in a one-semester introductory course in physical chemistry for students of life sciences. The author's aim is to emphasize the understanding of physical concepts rather than focus on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details. Subsequently, only basic skills of differential and integral calculus are required for understanding the equations. The end-of-chapter problems have both physiochemical and biological applications.
This solutions manual contains fully-worked solutions to all end-of-chapter discussion questions and exercises featured in 'Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences.
Hailed by advance reviewers as "a kinder, gentler P. Chem. text," this book meets the needs of an introductory course on physical chemistry, and is an ideal choice for courses geared toward pre-medical and life sciences students. Physical Chemistry for the Chemical and Biological Sciences offers a wealth of applications to biological problems, numerous worked examples and around 1000 chapter-end problems.
Presents short topics tied to numerical or conceptual ideas, reinforced with worked examples and questions Retaining the user-friendly style of the first edition, this text is designed to eliminate the knowledge gap for those life sciences students who have not studied chemistry at an advanced level. It contains new chapters on � � Water, covering the mole concept and colloids � Gases, discussing pressure, gas laws, partial pressure, solubility of gases, and diffusion � Metals in biology, including properties, oxygen carriers, biocatalysis, charge carriers, and toxicity The authors divide their analysis of carbon compounds into two chapters. One focuses exclusively on aliphatic carbon compounds, while the other provides a greatly expanded exploration of aromatic carbon compounds, isomerism, amines and amino acids, including benzene, aromaticity, types of isomerism, and absolute configuration. With a current examination of organic and biological reactions, this instructional volume also features end-of-chapter questions and provides a solutions manual for qualified instructors.
Using a straightforward and broad approach this book incorporates inorganic and organic chemistry at degree level. It covers fundamental vocabulary and philosophy of chemistry, basic organic chemistry and selected inorganic topics of interest to the natura
KEY BENEFIT: Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences presents the core concepts of physical chemistry with mathematical rigor and conceptual clarity, and develops the modern biological applications alongside the physical principles. The traditional presentations of physical chemistry are augmented with material that makes these chemical ideas biologically relevant, applying physical principles to the understanding of the complex problems of 21st century biology. KEY TOPICS: Physical Chemistry, Biology. MARKET: For all readers interested in physical chemistry and biology.
