About this ebook
Foundations of College Chemistry, 15th Edition by Morris Hein, Susan Arena, and Cary Willard covers fundamental general chemistry concepts. It is structured to help introductory and preparatory chemistry students build essential problem-solving skills. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The primary chapters and topics covered in the textbook include: [1]
Core Concepts & Matter
  • An Introduction to Chemistry: The nature of chemistry, thinking like a chemist, and the scientific method.
  • Standards for Measurement: Scientific notation, uncertainty, significant figures, metric units, and dimensional analysis/conversion factors.
  • Elements and Compounds: Distribution, names, formulas, and natural states of elements.
  • Properties of Matter: Physical and chemical properties, physical and chemical changes, mixtures, pure substances, and energy. [1, 2]
Atomic Structure & Nomenclature
  • Early Atomic Theory and Structure: Dalton's model, electric charge, the discovery of ions, subatomic particles, and isotopes.
  • Nomenclature of Inorganic Compounds: Naming binary compounds, polyatomic ions, acids, and bases.
  • Quantitative Composition of Compounds: The mole concept, molar mass, percent composition, empirical formulas, and molecular formulas. [1]
Chemical Reactions & Quantities
  • Chemical Equations: Writing and balancing equations, and classifying types of chemical reactions. [1]
  • Calculations from Chemical Equations (Stoichiometry): Mole-to-mole, mole-to-mass, and mass-to-mass calculations, limiting reactants, and theoretical yield. [1]
  • Modern Atomic Theory and the Periodic Table: Electromagnetic radiation, Bohr model, quantum mechanical model, electron configurations, and periodic trends. [1]
  • Chemical Bonds: Ionic bonds, covalent bonds, Lewis structures, molecular shapes, and electronegativity. [1]
States of Matter & Solutions
  • The Gaseous State of Matter: Gas laws (Boyle's, Charles's, Gay-Lussac's, Ideal Gas Law), Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, and gas stoichiometry.
  • Liquids: Intermolecular forces, vapor pressure, boiling point, and the properties of water.
  • Solutions: Concentration units (molarity, percent concentration), solubility factors, solution stoichiometry, and colligative properties. [1]
Advanced Foundation Topics
  • Acids, Bases, and Salts: Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and Lewis definitions, the pH scale, titrations, and neutralization reactions.
  • Chemical Equilibrium: Reversible reactions, Le Chatelier's principle, and equilibrium constants (\(K_{eq}\), \(K_{a}\), \(K_{s}p\)).
  • Oxidation-Reduction: Assigning oxidation numbers, balancing redox reactions, and an introduction to electrochemistry.
  • Nuclear Chemistry: Radioactivity, alpha/beta/gamma decay, half-life, fission, and fusion.
  • Introduction to Organic Chemistry & Biochemistry: Basic structures of hydrocarbons, functional groups, and biological molecules (often included as online/supplementary chapters). [1]
