Book Description

ISBN-10: 0131478826 | ISBN-13: 978-0131478824 | Publication Date: April 23, 2005 | Edition: 6

The Solutions Manual, prepared by Jan W. Simek of California Polytechnic State University, contains complete solutions to all the problems. The Solutions Manual also gives helpful hints on how to approach each kind of problem. This supplement is a useful aid for any student, and it is particularly valuable for students who feel they understand the material but need more help with problem solving. Appendix 1 of the Solutions Manual summarizes the IUPAC system of nomenclature. Appendix 2 reviews and demonstrates how acidity varies with structure in organic molecules, and how one can predict the direction of an acid--base equilibrium. Brief answers to many of the in-chapter problems are given at the back of this book. These answers are sufficient for a student on the right track, but they are of limited use to one who is having difficulty working the problems.

This is a very good solutions manual. It doesn't skip steps and is clear and covers EVERY problem. It is so useful that I wouldn't recommend using the textbook without having this b/c this solutions manual really helps you to understand the specific steps and mechanisms. Hey - I got an A in O-chem for two semesters and this book helped.

If your text book is Organic Chemisty by Wade, this solutions manual is a MUST-HAVE. The book has many problems, and only some have the answers in the back so that you may check your answers. But there is very very few questions in the book that show you how to solve it. The solutions manual shows you step-by-step ways to solve the problems and gives you tips and reasons why the answer is the way it is. I cant imagine having taken Organic without the solutions manual. Taking this course with our this manual is just making this class 5x harder for no need! I highly recommend this book!
