Student Solution Manual for Chemistry

John C. Kotz, a State University of New York Distinguished Teaching Professor at the College at Oneonta, was educated at Washington and Lee University and Cornell University. He held National Institutes of Health postdoctoral appointments at UMIST in England and at Indiana University.He has coauthored three textbooks in several editions (INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL REACTIVITY, AND THE CHEMICAL WORLD) and the GENERAL CHEMISTRY INTERACTIVE CD-ROM. He has also published on his research in organometallic chemistry and electrochemistry.John was a Fulbright Lecturer and Research Scholar in Lisbon, Portugal in 1979 and a Visiting Professor there in 1992. In 1991-1992 he was a Visiting Professor at the Institute for Chemical Education (University of Wisconsin) and in 1999 was an Overseas Visitor at Auckland University in New Zealand.He has received several awards, among them a National Catalyst Award for Excellence in Teaching, the 1998 Estee Lecturership in Chemical Education at the University of South Dakota, the 1999 Visiting Scientist Award from the Western Connecticut Section of the American Chemical Society, and, in 2001, the first annual Distinguished Education Award from the Binghamton (NY) Section of the American Chemical Society.John E. McMurry received his B.A. from Harvard University and his Ph.D. at Columbia University. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Foundation Fellow. He has received several awards, which include the National Institutes of Health Career Development Award, the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Scientist Award, and the Max Planck Research Award. In addition to ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, he is also the author or coauthor of ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: A BIOLOGICAL APPROACH, FUNDAMENTALS OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, THE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY OF BIOLOGICAL PATHWAYS.With Peter Mahaffy's passion for helping undergraduate students and others see the intricate web that connects chemistry with so many other aspects of life, he has made innovative contributions to science education both in Canada and internationally. After receiving his Ph.D. in Physical Organic Chemistry from Indiana University, Mahaffy moved to Canada where he is now Professor of Chemistry at the King's University College in Edmonton, Alberta. Mahaffy collaborates regularly on research with undergraduate students, in the areas of chemistry education, visualization in science, organic chemistry, and environmental chemistry. In addition, he gives numerous chemistry presentations to students and teachers at all levels, and to the general public.He chairs IUPAC's Committee on Chemistry Education (CCE) and serves on international chemistry education advisory and editorial boards. Elected a fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) in 1999, Mahaffy also received the CIC National Award for Chemistry Education in 2003, given as a mark of recognition for an outstanding contribution in Canada to education at the post-secondary level in the field of chemistry or chemical engineering.
