Learning the fundamentals of chemistry can be a difficult task to undertake for health professionals. For over 35 years, Foundations of College Chemistry in the Laboratory has helped them master the chemistry skills they need to succeed. It provides them with clear and logical explanations of chemical concepts and problem solving. They’ll learn how to apply concepts with the help of worked out examples. In addition, Chemistry in Action features and conceptual questions checks brings together the understanding of chemistry and relates chemistry to things health professionals experience on a regular basis.
Key Features
- Clear and logical explanations of chemical concepts.
- Step-by-step approach to problem solving.
- Varied levels of questions and problems.
- Worked-out examples relating to the real world.
New To This Edition
- Chapters 1-4 restructured for smoother start.
- Previous chapter 3 content(physical states, classification of matter) has been moved to chapter 1 to provide a stronger emphasis on matter.
- New section added to Chapter 3 to provide a clear framework for problem solving.
- New Problem Solving Strategy boxes to highlight how to think about working chemistry problems.
- New Rules boxes added to emphasize the procedures used in chemistry nomenclature and mathematics.
- Examples have be rewritten using the new overall approach to problems solving and incorporate the use of the Problem solving Strategy boxes.
- 15-20% new of the end of chapter problems.
- Additional Catalyst problems added to end of chapter problems to highlight the connection of the text to on-line study materials.

- More macro-molecular art, where appropriate.
About the Author
- Morris Hein is professor emeritus of chemistry at Mt. San Antonio College, where he regularly taught the preparatory chemistry course and organic chemistry. He is the original author of Foundations of College Chemistry and his name has become synonymous with clarity, meticulous accuracy, and a step-by-step approach that students can follow. Over the years, more than three million students have learned chemistry using a text by Morris Hein. In addition to Foundations of College Chemistry, Eleventh Edition, he is co-author of Introduction to General, Organic, and Biochemistry, Seventh Edition, and Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry. He is also co-author of Foundations of Chemistry in the Laboratory, Eleventh Edition, and Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry in the Laboratory, Seventh Edition.
- Susan Arena has taught chemistry to students at many levels including middle school, high school, community college and most recently at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She especially focuses on using active learning techniques to improve the understanding of concepts in chemistry. Susan currently authors chemistry texts and electronic media, and presents workshops for teachers in suing active learning and electronic media to teach chemistry. She collaborated with Morris Hein on the seventh edition of Foundations of College Chemistry and became a co-author on the eight edition. She is also a co-author of Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry, Seventh Edition.
