Abstract

(1) SLOWLY but surely the necessity of systematic laboratory instruction in the methods of physical chemistry is being recognised. One of the causes which may have contributed to the absence of such instruction in many university courses of chemical study has been the lack of a suitable practical textbook. With the appearance of Dr. Findlay's work this regrettable deficiency in laboratory literature can, however, be no longer said to exist. The apparatus required for the measurement of density, viscosity, surface-tension, refractive index, molecular weight, conductivity, transport numbers, electromotive force, velocity of chemical change, solubility, transition temperatures, and thermal changes is described, and instructions for the carrying out of the measurements are given in an easily intelligible form.
