Abstract
A GENERATION back the application of the kinetic theory to chemistry was restricted to the reactions which occur in gases. Progress has enabled reactions in solutions to be examined in the light of the same theory with satisfactory results. The author has selected certain representative examples for his purpose and has produced a treatise which will undoubtedly be of value to the advanced student and worker in physical chemistry. The scope is best illustrated by the table of contents; the respective chapters deal with the collision theory, the Arrhenius equation, a comparison of the kinetics of reactions in the gaseous phase and in solution, and then pass on to bimolecular and unimolecular reactions, equilibria, ionic, catalysed and heterogeneous reactions.
