Despite being 15 years old, this is still about the best book, when it comes to the calculations students need for AS-Level, and A2-Level, Chemistry. It somes with worked examples, and worked answers, which is good too.

My one grumble would be that the students find the units used in Kp weird sometimes (he uses atmospheres, rather than the more common KPa or Pa).
