Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A System of Physical Chemistry, Vol. 2 of 3
IN this edition the Opportunity has been taken of making certain corrections which have been kindly brought to my notice by various correspondents. In addition a certain amount of new material has been incorporated so as to bring the book up to date as far as possible. The principal additions are: in Chapter VII, the emf. Method of determining the transport number of an ion as employed by macinnes and Parker, an account of the investigation of Richards and Daniells on thallium amalgam cells, and Tolman's work on centrifugal cells; in Chapter VIII, an extended section dealing with ionic activity and ionisation, chiefly the work of the American School of Physical Chemistry. The problem of the activity of undissociated molecules is also considered. In Chapter XI, a r�sum� of the experimental evidence for Donnan's theory of membrane equilibria is given, and a fairly full account of the concept of the micelle in elec trolytic colloids.
