Textbook Homework and Keys

Here is a list of recommended problems from the textbook. This list represents the minimum number of problems you should do. I assume that all students can do these problems efficiently on exams. I recommend that you attempt all the problems from a chapter before consulting the solutions manual. Copying from the solutions manual without making an independent honest effort sometimes allows students to incorrectly think they can solve problems on their own.

NOTE: for students using McMurry & Faye Chemistry (from last year), here is a link that correlates the problems recommended bleow to the number of problems in your book. CORRELATION#.
