Description

Excerpt from A First Year Physical Chemistry It is well recognized at the present time that the student of chemistry must approach that subject from the standpoint of the laws of physics operative in the chemical domain as well as, or instead of, from a simply qualitative or empirical point of view. Accordingly, the physical conception of chemical behaviour is at length receiving due attention in the elementary, as well as in more advanced, teaching of the subject. Whilst, however, other branches of the science are equipped with numerous elementary as well as advanced text-books, there is a certain lack of works dealing with physical chemistry in a simple form, although the more detailed portions of this subject are so intricate, mathematical, and abstruse that the average student is frequently baffled by standard text-books which survey the whole field The present book, therefore, covers sufficient material for a session's detailed study in such a form that, if required for use in elementary or "Intermediate Science" classes, only the simpler aspects may be considered. On the other hand, it is believed that the material included will be found to afford sufficient groundwork for students proceeding to University (Pass B.Sc. or B.Sc. Engineering) or the advanced Board of Education examinations. Much assistance in proof-correction and many valuable suggestions have been given by Dr A. E. Dunstan, Dr W. C. M'C. Lewis, and Assistant-Professor S. Smiles, and I desire to express my heartiest thanks to these gentlemen for their kind assistance.
