A textbook of physical chemistry : volume 1,. States of matter & ions in solution (SI units) / K. L. Kapoor

OVERVIEW


This book is the first of the 7-volume series, which provides an extensive coverage of Physical Chemistry. This volume captures the States of Matter & Ions in Solution. With a large number of illustrative numerical and typical problems to highlight the principles involved, this edition has been updated as per the latest IUPAC recommendations and SI units have been adopted throughout.

This edition includes the quantitative explanation for the isothermal variation of compression factor of gases with pressure (or reduced pressure) based on van der Waals Berthelot, Dieterici and Redlich-Kwong equations of state. The typical variation of compression factor at Boyle (or reduced Boyle) temperature is adequately explained from the fact that it varies linearly with square of pressure (or reduced pressure) in the lower range of pressure (or reduced pressure).
