Description
Book SynopsisHere in one source is a wide variety of practical, everydayinformation often required by chemists but seldom found together,if at all, in the standard handbooks, data collections, manuals,and other usual sources. Discussing physical, chemical, andmechanical properties of substances and systems, the authors answersuch questions as:
* How do I test for and destroy peroxides in different solventsand what is the best way to purify such solvents?
* What are the structure, physical properties, and recentreferences to the use of common-name solvents and solvent aids suchas the Skellysolves, Cellosolves, Crownanes, andGlymes?
* What is the utility of a particular molecular sieve, orpermeation gel, or epoxy cement, or liquid crystal, and where do Ibuy them and find references to their application?
The book is divided into nine chapters and covers properties ofatoms and molecules, spectroscopy, photochemistry, chromatography,kinetics and thermodynamics, various experimental techn
