Effective Approach To Solving Problems in Chemistry

Chemistry problems can be quite easy to solve if you are aware of the basics and know how to apply concepts and formulas while solving problems. What you learn in class helps you to solve problems by understanding the chemical relationships and formulas.

Chemistry is all about formulas and if you understand them well, then chemistry can become a cake walk for you. Simply memorizing the relationships and formulas will not be helpful if you are given a problem you did not read anywhere before. The key to effectively solve problems is to understand these formulas and their applications. Many students find problems too hard to solve only because they just memorize the formulas and never take out the time to think about them. The result is often incorrect application of the formulas and a number of unsolved problems.

Whenever you learn a new formula, understand it. Here are a few tips to help you understand formulas better-

• Think about the system or change described by the formula. Secondly also try to understand the variables mean and their units.

• Then try to work out when does the formula apply.

• Find out the practical examples of its application if possible. This will make you understand its significance.

Now, with every chapter, you will come across new formulas. So, as you move on to every chapter, keep adding to the set of "Important Formula" charts. Try to focus on the relationships in every formula and if you understand them as you learn them, it will be easier to see how to apply them.
