Unboring Chemistry with Fun Problems and Unexpected Solutions

This book from the "Russian School" series is primarily aimed at those who are beginning to study chemistry. However, even those who are already familiar with the basics of this science will find many new things in the book. By explaining the complex laws of nature in an accessible and understandable way (including through visual diagrams), the author offers to conduct a series of interesting experiments and reveals the chemical essence of many everyday phenomena: from scale buildup in a kettle to baking pies and paint drying. Great attention is paid to how important knowledge of chemistry is for environmental protection.

Readers are invited to solve more than 60 problems from various sections of chemistry and areas of intersection with physics, biology, geology, and even the world of art. A hint and a detailed explanatory answer will be provided for each problem.
