Students can practice with numerous similar questions using different chemicals, wording and numbers to ensure full mastery of the underlying chemical concepts. OWLv2's variety of learning resources allow students to practice at their own pace and learn from meaningful feedback.

• REVISED CHAPTERS REFLECT THE LATEST VERSION OF EXCEL. Updated content throughout every chapter prepares students to work with Excel to solve statistical problems.

• UPDATED END-OF-CHAPTER EXERCISES PROVIDE NEW VARIABLES. This edition's end-of-chapter exercises reflect today's current analytical chemistry applications with up-to-date numbers and supporting details.

• New All OWL end-of-chapter questions now have full solutions.

• New OWL Laddered Assessments in Owlv2 provide students with structured learning paths to bolster their skills. Students start with conceptual exercises like tutorials and simulations, transitioning from single concepts and skills, to application exercises.

• INTEGRATED EXCEL SPREADSHEET PROBLEMS AND EXERCISES STRENGTHEN STUDENTS' SKILLS. Students work with these focused exercises and problems as they learn how to most effectively use Excel as a problem-solving tool. Exercises and problems are integrated into the examples and end-of-chapter material in appropriate chapters so students clearly understand the context of these applications.

• SPREADSHEET SUPPLEMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST. The new edition of the additional student resource, APPLICATIONS OF MICROSOFT® EXCEL FOR ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, further helps students learn to use spreadsheets as a problem-solving tool within the context of today's analytical chemistry applications.

• THOUGHT-PROVOKING, RESEARCH-ORIENTED CHALLENGE PROBLEMS HIGHLIGHT HOT TOPICS. Challenge Problems, at the end of each chapter, draw timely data from literature, current topics of interest or information from the Internet to engage students while highlighting emerging topics and trends.

• NEW VIBRANT USE OF FULL COLOR WITH MEMORABLE IMAGES AND FIGURES IMPROVES READABILITY. This edition uses full color to clarify content, improve readability and ensure visibility of all key images and figures.

• FEATURE BOXES HIGHLIGHT A VARIETY OF MEANINGFUL, INTRIGUING TOPICS. Engaging feature boxes, integrated throughout, highlight the use of analytical chemistry and address topics ranging from breath alcohol analyzers and lab-on-a-chip technology to modified electrodes, enzymatic determination of urea, GC/MS, C/MS, LC/MS/MS and capillary electrophoresis in DNA sequencing.

• AUTHORS EMPHASIZE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF ANALYTIC CHEMISTRY IN NUMEROUS FIELDS. Students quickly see the relevancy of the material they are learning as they study the wide spectrum of chemistry's applications, including developments in biology, medicine and environmental science. Examples of today's uses of analytic chemistry highlights the dynamic nature of the field.
