Excerpt from A Course in Inorganic Chemistry for Colleges This book is intended for college students who devote a year to general chemistry. It is primarily a students' book, and is not designed to replace the large text-books, which are better suited for reference than for class use. The descriptive portions of the text include the well-established topics usually taught in a year of college chemistry, though considerable space is devoted to the application of modern principles to chemical industries. The theoretical portions include not only the principles whose value was demonstrated long ago, but also many recent conceptions, which are fast becoming indispensable in interpreting chemical and physical phenomena. Some of the theoretical topics, which are distributed through the text at serviceable points, are the theory of electrolytic dissociation, reversible reactions, equilibrium, catalysis, vapor pressure, electrolysis, and the behavior of dissolved substances. It is hoped that the book as a whole will be found adequate for all students whose work is confined to a year and will likewise serve as a broad foundation for those who continue the study of chemistry.
