The Properties of Solvents

Solvents are used in most chemical, pharmaceutical and laboratory processes. As a result, their physical and chemical properties provide vital information for their optimal selection. This text contains information on over 250 solvents. It answers key questions including; What hazards are connected with the use of a specific solvent? How can the molecular order of a solvent be described? Is water a unique solvent? Which solvent should be selected for my application? It also presents previously uncovered material such as listings of molecular sizes, the concepts of order, softness and acid/base data, thermodynamic, electrical, optical and transport properties.
