There is almost nothing in a car that cannot be described from a chemical perspective, thereby making cars an untapped pedagogical resource for the study of chemistry. This book is suitable as an introductory course or capstone project and provides a thorough, although not exhaustive, presentation of chemistry in relation to cars. Topics include the ideal gas law, materials chemistry, thermochemistry, solution chemistry, mass transport, polymerization, light/matter interactions, and oxidation/reduction. A Twitter account and a blog allow readers to interact directly with authors and other experts.…mehr
