General Chemistry Worksheets

The following worksheets are a useful supplement to General Chemistry courses. They may also be useful to upper-class chemistry students for review. All were written by Dr. Susan B. Piepho, Professor of Chemistry, Sweet Briar College, Sweet Briar, VA 24595. The text references are currently being updated to Chemistry, Eighth Edition, by Raymond Chang (WCB/McGraw-Hill, Boston, MA 2005); until this process is complete, some worksheets will have references to the Sixth Edition. The documents below were written using Microsoft Word 2001, Macintosh Edition (or earlier). They should work fine with PCs running Microsoft Word 2000 (or later).
