Theories Of Solutions

The book ""Theories of Solutions"" by Svante Arrhenius is a comprehensive study of the various theories and concepts related to the behavior of solutions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the thermodynamics of solutions, the properties of electrolytes, and the behavior of colloids. The author, Svante Arrhenius, was a renowned Swedish chemist who made significant contributions to the field of physical chemistry, particularly in the area of electrolytic dissociation.The book begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of solutions, including the nature of solvents and solutes, and the various types of solutions. The author then delves into the thermodynamics of solutions, discussing topics such as the Gibbs free energy, the enthalpy of mixing, and the entropy of mixing. The book also covers the properties of electrolytes, including their conductance, dissociation, and activity coefficients.In addition to these topics, the book also explores the behavior of colloids, which are solutions containing particles that are larger than molecules but smaller than visible particles. The author discusses the properties of colloids, including their size, shape, and surface charge, and explains how they interact with other particles in solution.Overall, ""Theories of Solutions"" is a valuable resource for students and professionals in the fields of chemistry, physics, and materials science who are interested in understanding the behavior of solutions. The book provides a thorough and accessible overview of the key concepts and theories related to solutions, and is written by a renowned expert in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
