The authors have examined carefully a number of Indian Universities and evolved a common minimum laboratory programme and the result is this compilation. The experiments chosen are the minimum required for undergraduate programmes. Some experiments have been purposely included so that they can be covered at demonstration level and can be given as exercises at the post graduate level. The authors have attempted to assemble the list of experiments from their experience and also have drawn upon the experience of the students who have undergone these laborartory courses and felt the inadequacy of the existing curriculum.
Physical Chemistry deals with the relations between the physical properties of substances and their composition. The present book is intended to serve as a practical manual for undergraduate and post graduate students. I have attempted to assemble the list of experiments from my experience and also have drawn upon the experience of the students who have undergone these laboratory courses and felt the inadequacy of the existing syllabus. I am aware that I have not yet exhausted all the experiments that they wanted to place in this book but I had to make a selection keeping the size in consideration.This manual is largely structured around the standard experiments of physical chemistry. Detailed information on instrumentation, kinetics, experimental methods and data analysis has been covered. I will be happier to take all comments and incorporate them in the further editions.
This book introduces basic concepts of mathematical physics to chemists. Many textbooks and monographs of mathematical physics may appear daunting to them. Unlike other, related books, however, this one contains a practical selection of material, particularly for graduate and undergraduate students majoring in chemistry. The book first describes quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, with the relation between the two being emphasized. Although quantum mechanics covers a broad field in modern physics, the author focuses on a hydrogen(like) atom and a harmonic oscillator with regard to the operator method. This approach helps chemists understand the basic concepts of quantum mechanics aided by their intuitive understanding without abstract argument, as chemists tend to think of natural phenomena and other factors intuitively rather than only logically. The study of light propagation, reflection, and transmission in dielectric media is of fundamental importance. This book explains these processes on the basis of Maxwell equations. The latter half of the volume deals with mathematical physics in terms of vectors and their transformation in a vector space. Finally, as an example of chemical applications, quantum chemical treatment of methane is introduced, including a basic but essential explanation of Green functions and group theory. Methodology developed by the author will also prove to be useful to physicists.
In the last three decades, there have been major changes in the complexion of physical chemistry. In the same vein, experimental chemistry curriculum has also undergone changes. Practicals in Physical Chemistry is an attempt to incorporate these changes
This new volume presents an up-to-date review of modern materials and physical chemistry concepts, issues, and recent advances in the field. It presents a modern theoretical and experimental approach in applied physical chemistry. The volume discusses the developments of advanced chemical products and respective tools to characterize and predict the chemical material properties and behavior. With chapters from distinguished scientists and engineers from key institutions worldwide, the volume provides understanding through numerous examples and practical applications drawn from research and development chemistry. It emphasizes the intersection of chemistry, math, physics, and the resulting applications across many disciplines of science and explores applied physical chemistry principles in specific areas. At the same time, each topic is framed within the context of a broader more interdisciplinary approach, demonstrating its relationship and interconnectedness to other areas. This new book fills a gap within modeling texts, focusing on applications across a broad range of disciplines, and presents information on many important problems in physical chemistry. These investigations are accompanied by real-life applications in practice.
This new volume, Research Methodologies and Practical Applications of Chemistry, presents a detailed analysis of current experimental and theoretical approaches surrounding chemical science. With an emphasis on multidisciplinary as well as interdisciplinary applications, the book extensively reviews fundamental principles and presents recent research to help show logical connections between the theory and application of modern chemistry concepts. It also emphasizes the behavior of materials from the molecular point of view. The burgeoning field of chemistry and chemical science has led to many recent technological innovations and discoveries. Understanding the impact of these technologies on business, science, and industry is an important first step in developing applications for a variety of settings and contexts. The aim of this book is to present research that has transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. The book examines the strengths and future potential of chemical technologies in a variety of industries.
This extensive overview combines both instrumental and radiochemical techniques with qualitative and quantitative (volumetric and gravimetric) analyses, and also with preparation of compounds, thereby strengthening analytical and preparative skills. All the main elements and groups of the periodic table are covered, with emphasis on the transition metals. It is intended as a laboratory manual for undergraduate, Higher National Diploma and Certificate students and their tutors. - Covers all the main elements and groups of the periodic table, with emphasis on the transition metals - Combines instrumental and radiochemical techniques with qualitative and quantitative (volumetric and gravimetric) analyses - Intended as a laboratory manual for undergraduate, Higher National Diploma and Certificate students and their tutors
