The Homework Helpers Series is just what high school students need to boost

their confidence and give them everything they need to ace even the most

challenging classes.

Do you fear mole conversions and Avogadro’s number? Are

oxidation-reduction reactions just too much to handle? Are the Ideal Gas

Laws getting you down?

Homework Helpers: Chemistry is a user-friendly review book that will make

every student—or parents trying to help their child—feel like he or she has a

private Chemistry tutor. Concepts are explained in clear, easy-to-understand

language, and problems are worked out with step-by-step methods that are

easy to follow. Each lesson comes with numerous review questions and

answer sheets that explain each correct answer and why it’s correct.

Homework Helpers: Chemistry covers all of the topics in a typical one-year

Chemistry curriculum, including:

• A systematic approach to problem solving, conversions, and the use of

units.

• Naming compounds, writing formulas, and balancing chemical equations.

• The mole concept and stoichiometry, including limiting reactant problems.

• Gas laws, chemical kinetics, acids and bases, electrochemistry, and more.

While Homework Helpers: Chemistry is an excellent review for any

standardized Chemistry test, including the SAT-II, its real value is in

providing support and guidance during the year’s entire course of study.
