Acid-Base Equilibria, Buffers and pH (The Chemistry Tutorials Series)

Acid-base equilibria, buffers and pH is the third book in a series of Chemistry tutorials for high-school and undergraduate college students. In contrast to formal textbooks, this tutorial directly answers most common students' questions — how to write acid-base equations, calculate pH of solutions or solve problems involving concentrations, acidity constants, titration and buffers. The ability to deal with such problems is essential for passing any chemistry exam.

Each chapter of the tutorial introduces a simple concept and immediately illustrates it with typical examples and problems of increasing complexity. Answers and detailed solutions to all self-study exercises are given at the end of the book.

Informal and easy-to-follow style of presentation engages students in chemistry, boosts their confidence and speeds up the learning process. In many ways, this series of tutorials is an efficient and inexpensive substitution for traditional face-to-face tuition.
