Abstract
THE 156 worked examples which make this book are mostly taken from recent papers set at Interscience, First M.B., National Certificate, Higher Schools and similar examinations. The problems are not limited to elementary work and to the calculations of analysis, but illustrate a variety of subjects such as the partition coefficient, the eutectic point, osmotic pressure and related phenomena, electrolysis and electrode potentials. The author has classified the examples, grouped them into chapters of in creasing difficulty, and whenever necessary added theoretical matter to make clearer an understanding of the principles involved. Much experience in a technical college has thoroughly acquainted him with the difficulties of students, so we find these illustrative examples clearly set out in simple steps, and, so far as we have checked, accurately solved. To the serious student and to teachers not too strong in this section of chemistry, the book should be of great value.
