Reading & Textbook Problem Assignments - Silberberg CHEMISTRY, 7th-8th ed.
The sections and problems very closely match in the 7th & 8th editions of the textbook. A specific note will be made when there is a difference. Follow-up problems have answers at the end of the chapter. Most of the assigned end-of-chapter questions have answers in the back of the textbook and full solutions in the student solutions manual.
