Chemical Principles

The meticulous explanations and descriptions of the mechanisms of reactions in Ege's Organic Chemistry teach you how to apply principles in order to predict the outcomes of reactions. Early coverage of acid-base chemistry allows you to quickly grasp the concept that the structures of organic compounds determine their chemical reactivity.

The Fifth Edition offers a strengthened focus on biological applications that renders the text more accessible to the majority of organic chemistry students and more consistent with the interdisciplinary nature of scientific research.

Study Guide (ISBN 0-618-31810-0) Includes solutions to every problem in the text and "Concept Maps" (key concepts presented in an outline or diagrammatic form) keyed to the text. Additional worked-out problems use the questions developed in the problem-solving sections of the text. The Study Guide also contains supplemental problems for each chapter to give you an opportunity to practice the skills you have learned in preparation for exams. The answers to these supplemental problems are in the Instructor's Manual.

The Chemistry Tutor Version 2.0 CD-ROM (ISBN 0-618-03317-3) Features an interactive introduction to topics in organic chemistry, with a review of basic math and topics in general chemistry. Includes a tutorial with text, animations, and interactive problems. Contains modules of computer-assisted learning material. Also includes chemical tools such as a chemical calculator, molecular viewer, a periodic table database, and a chemical glossary.

Student Website (chemistry.college.hmco.com/students) Includes "One Small Step" problems related to topics in the text, selected "Visualizing the Reaction" features, workbook exercises, concept charts, animations/simulations, and a glossary. Generic username and password required.

Media Guide for Students:

The MEDIA GUIDE provides information about flexible, integrated learning tools that help you visualize chemical concepts, practice problem solving, and access live online tutoring and online homework. Included is a passkey to SMARTHINKING™ live online tutoring, a user name and password for the student web site, and information about online homework in Eduspace® (powered by Blackboard™). (Please note, you can only access Eduspace® if your instructor has chosen to use it.) Passkeys are valid for 12 months from initial sign-on.

SMARTHINKING™ live online tutoring provides personalized, text-specific tutoring during typical study hours when you need it most; Sunday through Thursday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. EST

With SMARTHINKING™ you can:

• submit a question to get a response from a qualified e-structor within 24 hours
• use the whiteboard with full scientific notation and graphics
• pre-schedule time with an e-structor
• view past online sessions, questions, or essays in an archive on your personal academic homepage
• view your tutoring schedule

E-structors help you with the process of problem solving rather than supply answers.

Student Web Site, organized by chapter, includes Understanding Concepts and Visualizations tutorials with animations and videos as well as unique resources such as interactive flashcards, and ACE self-quizzes.

Student CD-ROM, a student tutorial resource, includes many of the resources found on the student web site.

Eduspace® (powered by Blackboard™) Houghton Mifflin's complete course management solution, features ChemWork™ online homework-unique guided tutorials that help you learn the process of thinking like a chemist. As you work through text-based problems, the program will offer you step-by-step hints and rejoinders that lead you through the process of problem solving. Through Eduspace®, you can also access a variety of other resources such as interactive tutorials with videos and animations, and links to the student web site, and SMARTHINKING™ live online tutoring.

The Media Guide is available bundled with new copies of Zumdahl, Chemical Principles, Fifth Edition and is also sold separately (ISBN 0-618-37212-1).
