  • John C. Kotz

    John C. Kotz is an emeritus State University of New York Distinguished Teaching Professor at the College at Oneonta. Educated at Washington and Lee University, as well as Cornell University, he held National Institutes of Health postdoctoral appointments at the University of Manchester Institute for Science and Technology in England and at Indiana University. Professor Kotz has co-authored three textbooks in several editions - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, CHEMISTRY & CHEMICAL REACTIVITY, and THE CHEMICAL WORLD - along with the INTERACTIVE GENERAL CHEMISTRY CD-ROM. He also has published research on inorganic chemistry and electrochemistry. He was a Fulbright Lecturer and Research Scholar in Portugal in 1979 and a visiting professor there in 1992, as well as a visiting professor at the Institute for Chemical Education (University of Wisconsin, 1991-1992) and at Auckland University in New Zealand (1999). He also was an invited speaker at a meeting of the South African Chemical Society and at the biennial conference for secondary school chemistry teachers in New Zealand. In addition, a recent tenure as a mentor of the U.S. Chemistry Olympiad Team, Professor Kotz has received numerous honors, including a State University of New York Chancellor's Award (1979), a National Catalyst Award for Excellence in Teaching (1992), the Estee Lectureship in Chemical Education at the University of South Dakota (1998), the Visiting Scientist Award from the Western Connecticut Section of the American Chemical Society (1999), and the first annual Distinguished Education Award from the Binghamton (New York) Section of the American Chemical Society (2001).

  • Chapter Goals are now specified for each section in each chapter. In the Chapter Goals Revisited section at the close of the chapter each goal is matched with several Study Questions that allow the student to try questions on that topic. For some goals new questions have been added.

  • Each chapter now features at least two Applying Chemical Principles scenario problems. Their purpose is to bring together principles learned in the current chapter with those in previous chapters to address problems in “real world” chemistry. Here students will learn about a problem in green chemistry or the chemistry in the book and movie The Martian, for example.

  • The new OWLv2 course will feature Adaptive Learning Activities designed to deliver continuous, personalized support in manageable chunks throughout the learning process.

  • IN THE LABORATORY" QUESTIONS address techniques used and work performed in the general chemistry laboratory to help students make the connection between lecture topics and lab work.

  • BEYOND THE EXAM. The text correlates Chapter Goals with Study Questions to help students develop a conceptual understanding of chemistry and a skill in problem-solving.

  • WORKED EXAMPLES. Through the text's six-part worked example structure, students learn how to approach a problem rather than just memorize problem types and solution approaches.

  • PROBLEM STRATEGY MAPS. Selected worked examples have Strategy Maps that give students a visual view of the complete problem-solving strategy. Video Strategy Solutions based on these maps are integrated into the MindTap Reader eBook. Example problems from the book are assignable in OWLv2 as Tutored problems.

  • VISUAL TOOLS. With the text's extensive use of molecular representations, your students can move beyond just plugging numbers into an equation to a conceptual understanding of what's going on at the molecular level. The authors consistently depict molecules in chemical equations and use unique space-filling molecular art that more completely tie the text's molecular art to problem solving and media.

  • CLOSER LOOK BOXES. These show students where chemistry has been used to solve a problem, where chemistry is important in everyday matters, or where the student might like a more detailed look at a new concept or the history behind it.

  • APPLYING CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES. New problems of this type have been added to every chapter. They bring together concepts from a particular chapter with preceding chapters and include such topics as the chemistry in the book and movie “The Martian,” how to use “green chemistry” to make useful pharmaceuticals, lead in the environment, or how to tell the age of a meteorite. Answers to the odd-numbered questions are given in an Appendix.
