Experimental Physical Chemistry

This collection of 59 self-contained but interrelated experiments forms a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the major areas of physical chemistry. The experiments are grouped into three sections--equilibrium, structure, and change--which provide a practical understanding of such topics as phase equilibria, thermodynamics, macromolecular structure, and the effects of molecular and ionic motion. Experiments are designed to teach students practical skills useful to their careers, as well as to illustrate concepts. Specimen results are given, and each experiment has undergone thorough testing and revision, making this an effective introduction for students of experimental chemistry and chemical physics.
