The Eighth Edition of Zumdahl and DeCoste's best-selling INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY: A FOUNDATION combines enhanced problem-solving structure with substantial pedagogy to enable students to become strong independent problem solvers in the introductory course and beyond. Capturing student interest through early coverage of chemical reactions, accessible explanations and visualizations, and an emphasis on everyday applications, the authors explain chemical concepts by starting with the basics, using symbols or diagrams, and conclude by encouraging students to test their own understanding of the solution. This step-by-step approach has already helped hundreds of thousands of students master chemical concepts and develop problem-solving skills. The book is known for its focus on conceptual learning and for the way it motivates students by connecting chemical principles to real-life experiences in chapter-opening discussions and Chemistry in Focus boxes.

Basic Chemistry gives students the problem-solving tools and techniques they need to succeed in future chemistry courses and in the work force.
The main objective in writing this text is to make the study of chemistry an engaging and a positive experience for students by relating the structure and behavior of matter to real life.
This book covers the underlying essential concepts of basic chemistry, starting with atoms and molecules and including chemical nomenclature, chemical bonding, and, chemical units and calculations.
Explanation: Let the bond energy of O–O bond in hydrogen peroxide be BE(O–O). Total energy absorbed during bond-breaking = 2 × BE(O-O). Total energy released during bond forming = 1 × 486 = 486 kJ mol-1. Hence, DH = 2 × BE(O-O) - 486 ...
