Chemical recreations, a popular manual of experimental chemistry. The tenth edition. Second division: Non-metallic elements. The Chemistry of the Non-metallic elements and their compounds: air — water — the gases — the acids; and a summary of organic chemistry. Including a comprehensive course of class experiments.

This comprehensive handbook covers the diverse aspects of chemical vapor transport reactions from basic research to important practical applications. The book begins with an overview of models for chemical vapor transport reactions and then proceeds to treat the specific chemical transport reactions for the elements, halides, oxides, sulfides, selenides, tellurides, pnictides, among others. Aspects of transport from intermetallic phases, the stability of gas particles, thermodynamic data, modeling software and laboratory techniques are also covered. Selected experiments using chemical vapor transport reactions round out the work, making this book a useful reference for researchers and instructors in solid state and inorganic chemistry.
