The class listed that I needed the 12th edition but they also gave us Mastering Chemistry for free so I figured would just use the E-Book. It turned out to be a pain so about five weeks into the semester I decided I needed a hard copy of the book and decided to check the difference between editions. These are literally the same book with exception to Ch. 22 & 23 in 11E and Ch. 23 in the 12E. Most of Ch.23 in 12E is Ch. 23 with parts of Ch. 22 in 11E, you just have to know where you are supposed to be. Also Ch.25 in 11E is Ch.24 in 12E. Even all of the end of chapter exercises are the same in 11E as 12E just numbered differently and some in different order, but all within the same section. There are some that vary slightly, usually just values, but I'd say 97% are the same. Not all of the sample questions are identical either throughout the chapter but most are. This is a great chemistry book, it is very easy to read and understand and if you put in the work you will see results. Buy the Student's Guide and Solutions To Exercises (all exercises) and you will have no problems with this course. LASTLY: BUY 11e OVER 12e!!!!!! I paid just under $40 TOTAL (including shipping) for the 11e text, Student's Guide, and Solutions To Exercises (all exercises). These books would run me almost $500 at the university bookstore and probably $300 by looking around online. Review: A good chemistry textbook - This is a really good study aid. The problems within and after the chapter, the chapter summaries, and the reference to other key concepts in the text make this textbook a wonderful way to review after a chemistry class in further chemistry classes or for other standardized test. I would highly recommend this for anyone with a need. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,657,458 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,115 in General Chemistry #1,163 in Chemistry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (210) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 1.75 x 11 inches | | Edition | 11th | | ISBN-10 | 0136006175 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0136006176 | | Item Weight | 6.2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 1114 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2008 | | Publisher | Pearson College Div | ## Images ![Chemistry: The Central Science - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91CNcjxIuXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IF YOU NEED THE 12 EDITION BUY THE 11TH!!!! *by A***N on February 23, 2012* I transferred schools and I needed Chemistry: The Central Science for Chem II.

The problems within and after the chapter, the chapter summaries, and the reference to other key concepts in the text make this textbook a wonderful way to review after a chemistry class in further chemistry classes or for other standardized test. I would highly recommend this for anyone with a need. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great condition when bought, but didn't read very much & got B- in chem course! *by C***E on December 23, 2009* I bought this book for my first semester of college because I had to take general chem I. I was very worried because in highschool, I never took a chem course. When I ordered this book, I got it used from amazon and it was in superb condition. Unfortunately, all science it Greek to me, so I began the semester reading it, highlighting, and taking notes in the margins a little. After the first couple of chapters, I stopped doing all that. Somehow I managed to get a B- in the course. All in all, this book was detailed, in excellent condition, but I didn't understand any of it. I am using amazon for my books next semester because I got such magnificent results this semester. Thank you amazon. ps. word to all who might read this, if your in college, READ your text books. It is rare you will get a professor like I had for chem. He was the sub for the semester, that is why I did okay.
