Trapp C.A., Cady M.P., Giunta C. Student's Solutions Manual to Accompany Quanta, Matter & Change: A molecular approach to physical chemistry

Oxford University Press, 2009. — 535 p. — ISBN: 0199559074.Student Solutions Manual for Physical Chemistry textbook by the same author.
This manual provides detailed solutions to all of the end-of-chapter (a) Exercises, and to the odd-numbered Discussion Questions and Problems in Quanta, Matter, and Change. The solutions to some of the Exercises and many of the Problems in this manual relied heavily on the mathematical, graphical, and molecular modeling software that is now generally accessible to physical chemistry students. The availability of the software makes it possible to create and solve problems that can realistically mimic scientific research. Many of the problems specifically requested the use of such software, and, indeed, would have been almost unsolvable otherwise. We used the following software for many of the solutions in this manual: Excel for spreadsheet calculations and graphing, and Mathcad for mathematical calculations and the plotting of the results. When a quantum chemical calculation or molecular modeling process was called for, we usually provided the solution with PC Spartan TM because of its common availability. However, the majority of the Exercises and many of the Problems can still be solved with a modem hand-held scientific calculator.Quantum theory
