Interactive General Chemistry Problem Practice on Small Computers A series of interactive programs used to give students practice in working with many of the basic quantitative concepts in general chemistry described earlier' has been expanded and rewritten in Basic. The original series of programs was designed to give the maximum variety of problems in a small memory~minicomputer.This philosophy has been carried over into the expanded versions so these programs should be usable in minicomputers with extended memory or disk storage and chaining features. The following is a list of programs currently being used. The topics included in this list are by no means complete for a general chemistry course and more programs are planned for the future: Gram-male-molecule conversion, molarity, dilution; Stoichiametry (gram-gram, gram-mole, etc.); Acid-base titration; Equilibrium; Acids, bases, buffers, pH; Beer's Law; Electronic configuration of atoms; Enthalpy of reaction; and Free energy and spontaneity of reaction. Listings and descriptionsof these programs are available from the author. 1 Breneman,
