<p>Hello, the book required for chm2046 has an isbn that can't be found on amazon and other websites .. But it says the author: silberberg , title: Prin of General Chemistry </p>
<p>can anyone confirm that this is the book ( by the cover ), it does not match the isbn..</p>
<p>and as well, I can't seem to find a syllabus for this class with horvath online anywhere .. does anyone know or have a neat list of topics which match the textbook?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>(it seems UF has changed textbook ? )</p>
<p>AND WHILE WE ARE HERE, can anyone compare this class in difficulty to physics 2 at UF ?</p>
<p>When I took 2046 with horvath, first day he kicked the book across the room and said it’s useless. We used his note packet exclusively. If I were you, I’d look into it further before wasting 130$</p>
<p>2046 was comparable to 2049 in my experience. 2046L was pretty difficult though.</p>
<p>yes the textbook you posted is the current chem 2045/2046 book that is used. they changed the textbook last summer. I had 2045 this spring semester and was told that the same book will be used in 2046. the only professor that teaches 2046 that doesn’t use the text book is horvath.</p>
<p>If you’re referring to horvath’s note packet, it’s sold at cost from one of the copy shops around campus, no bundle.</p>
<p>All the answers/schemes to 2046L stuff are online (If I recall searching CHM2046L on facebook was the easiest way to find it, there was a group with it all posted), that’s the best resource. You need to really understand the schemes for the unknowns, and you’ll be successful. The actual lab work is kinda interesting and pretty easy, you just have to not get distracted (my buddy in lab was always flirting with a girl across from his station, no conducive to getting the stuff done).</p>
<p>It depends on your professor on whether or not you’ll need the book. I had Meyers Spring 2010, and although the book was not required, it really helped me. He assigned “suggested” problems every week and they would usually appear on quizzes and tests. We started off with chapter 17 (Chemical Equilibrium), and did 17-22, and ended with 14 and 15. </p>
<p>At the beginning of each class he would have a handout which was notes that were half filled in and together you would fill them in. That (in addition to the problems in the book and homework) are all you really need to study for the test.</p>
