The Mastering Chemistry Webpage The publishing company has changed slightly The Mastering Chemistry Webpage after instructions for logging-in were prepared and mailed out to you. Therefore, the first few steps for logging-in given in the document entitled 'Unit Outline' are no longer valid. Please note you now only need to log in to the webpage http://www.masteringchemistry.com and then register as a new student using the access code that came with your textbook. Follow instructions given in 'Unit OUtline' to access 'CBMS101X'. If you are a repeating student, you should be able to use the access code that came with the textbook you bought in March this year. Please let me know if you have any problems using the old access code. Danny Wong
