Chemistry for the Life Sciences

By Raul Sutton, Peter Swindells, Bernard Rockett

Book Overview

Retaining the user-friendly style that made the original so popular, this updated edition continues to provide a foundation in the aspects of chemistry that developing life scientists need to understand biochemical and biomedical research. This edition adds new chapters, including one on water, covering the mole concept and colloids; another on gases, discussing pressure, solubility, and diffusion; and a third on metals, describing properties, carriers, biocatalysis, and toxicity. Each topic is clearly tied to numerical considerations and core concepts. Critical information is reinforced through worked examples and questions. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption.
