preface of This book      The book is divided into four parts. The first part focuses on the macroscopic properties of physical systems. It begins with the descriptive study of gases and liquids, and proceeds to the study of thermodynamics, which is a comprehensive macroscopic theory of the behavior …

  preface of This book      Two very important fields of natural science—chemistry and the science of electricity— matured and grew vigorously during the first half of the nineteenth century. Electrochemistry developed simultaneously. From the very beginning, electrochemistry was not merely a peripheral field but evolved with an important …

  Book preface and the author words    Physical chemistry stands at the intersection of the power and generality of classical and quantum physics with the minute molecular complexity of chemistry and biology. Any molecular process that can be envisioned as a flow from a higher energy state to a …

  Book preface and the authors words   Electrochemistry has undergone significant transformations in the last few decades. It is not now the province of academics interested only in measuring thermodynamic properties of solutions or of industrialists using electrolysis or manufacturing batteries, with a huge gulf between them. It has …

  Introduction WHAT IS ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY?       Analytical chemistry is concerned with the chemical characterization of matter, both qualitative and quantitative. It is important in nearly every aspect of our lives because chemicals make up everything we use.   This text deals with the principles and techniques of quantitative …
