Enhanced with new problems and applications, the Fourth Edition of CHEMISTRY FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS provides a concise, thorough, and relevant introduction to chemistry that prepares you for further study in any engineering field. Updated with new conceptual understanding questions and applications specifically geared toward engineering, the book emphasizes the connection between molecular properties and observable physical properties and the connections between chemistry and other subjects such as mathematics and physics.

  • Current & Relevant: Includes up-to-date topics like technological advances and real-world chemistry applications in engineering.
  • Conceptual Emphasis: End-of-chapter problems focus on molecular visualization and nonalgorithmic thinking.
  • “Think First” Strategy: Example problems encourage understanding the why behind solutions.
  • Engineering Context: "Insights Into" boxes link chemistry concepts to engineering applications, supported by related problems.
  • Problem-Solving Focus: Chapters end with sections that challenge students to apply multi-step reasoning beyond given data.
  • Math Integration: “MathConnections” highlight the mathematical basis of chemistry concepts, linking to courses like Calculus.
  • New Applications: Covers emerging topics like critical materials, lithium-ion batteries, and urban air pollution.
  • Expanded Acid/Base Content: Enhanced discussions on titrations and equilibrium.
  • Conceptual Reinforcement: Additional end-of-chapter problems deepen understanding through visualization and reasoning.
  • Systems Thinking: Introduces chemistry’s role in complex systems throughout the text.
  • Improved Visuals: Enhanced molecular orbital illustrations aid comprehension.
  • Streamlined Content: Ionic size trends now consolidated in Chapter 6 for clarity.
