Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Physical Chemistry In presenting this manual of laboratory exercises in physical chemistry, the authors have been prompted by a threefold object: first, to facilitate the task of the instructor in handling large classes of students beginning a course of practical physical chemistry; second, to assist the student in recording his observations in a clear and comprehensive manner; and third, to present such quantitative exercises as will be particularly desirable in the training of students of engineering. In view of the fact that there are, as a rule, available for laboratory work not more than two and one-half hours at a time, it has been found desirable to have the different pieces of apparatus set up beforehand by the instructor. To this end, each experiment is preceded by an exact list of the apparatus and chemicals needed. It is believed that this will materially aid the instructor in assembling the necessary equipment. At the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the laboratory course immediately follows the completion of the theoretical course in physical chemistry, and students are thus prepared to take up the study of any experiment herein listed. It is therefore found practical to prepare the equipment for one or two units of each exercise before the laboratory course starts, and to shift the student successively from one experiment to another. In this way, an excessive amount of preparatory work is avoided. Many of the experiments have been in use in their present form at this Institute, and elsewhere, for a number of years, and have been found to be thoroughly satisfactory. Directions have been made as concise as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Manual of Practical Physical Chemistry In organising the practical work in connection with a class of Physical Chemistry (1) a teacher may himself carry out the measurements while the whole class look on, or (2) he may divide the class into sets of two or more and assign one experiment to each set, or (3) he may adopt the "one student one experiment" plan. Of these three methods, the third is undoubtedly the best, because a student is made responsible for an experiment in a way that can never be when another is associated with him in the work. In the second method the tendency is for one student of a set to lead while the others make no attempt at initiative and lose the best part of the training obtainable in a laboratory. Close supervision is, of course, essential when valuable instruments are being handled, and frequently the teaching staff is too small for the demonstrating to be efficient according to the third plan, so that the second is adopted, which, however, is much to be preferred to the first. The time available for Practical Physical Chemistry is usually very meagre, and has an important bearing on the organisation of Laboratory Work. The best system would be one in which the question of time had never to be considered. As things are, however, a student, as a rule, can afford out of his day's work only one period of two to three hours for Practical Physical Chemistry. It is important, therefore, that the exercises should be such that they can be finished in one period not extending beyond the limits mentioned.

Excerpt from Laboratory Exercises in Physical Chemistry With the growth of a new science between physics and chemistry there has arisen need for a new type of laboratory manual. This need has been met by two books - Ostwald's "Physiko-Chemische Messungen" and Traube's "Physikalisch-Chemische Methode." Notwithstanding the excellence of these books they have not proven themselves practical guides in the laboratory, owing to too great detail and too many references to the literature. With the wish to prepare a manual which may be placed in the hands of the student of physical chemistry, the author has written this book. He would state at the outset that he in no way considers this as an effort to rival either of the above books, which for long must remain the standard works of reference on physico-chemical measurements. The effort has been made to select only such exercises as are typical, and where several different methods exist for the measurement of the same quantity, only in rare instances has more than one been given. In a word, the book has been made as condensed as possible in order not to discourage the student with too many methods. It has been thought advisable to include several exercises which are usually studied in physics, but these may be omitted if the student has already had sufficient practice with them.

Excerpt from General Chemistry Laboratory Manual The exercises in this manual are complementary to the author's General Chemistry, Theoretical and Ap plied. The numbering of the chapters and sections follows that of the textbook exactly, as it is expected that students will study both simultaneously. In fact, the exercises can often advantageously precede the corresponding lectures; although in such cases the instructor will find it necessary to give more extended oral instructions at the beginning of the laboratory period than would otherwise be required. Such pre liminary instructions must be given in any event dur ing the early part of the course in order to familiarize the student with the ordinary pieces of apparatus and their manipulation, the regulations and routine of the laboratories and storerooms, and the prescribed system of recording results and submitting them to the in structor for inspection and approval. Oral and written quizzes based on the laboratory work, but involving knowledge of both the laboratory work and the lee tures, will be found helpful.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual in Chemistry This manual is intended to accompany Chemistry, an Elementary d104book, by the same authors, but it may be used advantageously in connection with any other text. It will prove interesting to teachers who wish to present that kind of chemistry which appeals to students because of its intense human interest.

Excerpt from Practical Physical Chemistry During recent years it has come to be more widely recognized in our Universities and Colleges that the course of study for students of Chemistry, no matter to what special branch of the subject they may intend to devote themselves later, cannot be regarded as complete or satisfactory unless it include both systematic and practical Physical Chemistry. While, however, the student of practical Inorganic or Organic Chemistry has at his command an abundant supply of text-books, both elementary and advanced, the student of practical Physical Chemistry has hitherto been forced to rely, almost entirely, on the text-book of Ostwald or Ostwald and Luther. Although this forms in every way an admirable guide and book of reference for the advanced worker in Physical Chemistry, it has not proved itself suitable as a text-book for the general student of Chemistry, whose chief desire is to obtain some knowledge of the experimental foundations of the subject. It is, no doubt, to the lack of a suitable elementary text-book in which the student of Physical Chemistry can find sufficiently detailed guidance and direction in the carrying out of the more important physico-chemical measurements, that the complete or almost complete omission of practical Physical Chemistry from the ordinary course of chemical study in many of our British Universities and Colleges is largely due.

Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Chemistry N preparing this brief course, the authors have endeavored to select such work as will best develop the true spirit of investigation. It is not intended to present an exhaustive treatise, but rather a few of the stepping-stones over which the student of this department of nature must travel. We most thoroughly believe that the experiments selected should, as a rule, be of such a nature that the pupil can perform them. For himself. The teacher should be but the guide that points out the right path, calling attention to the by-paths of error. The work here laid out should be accompanied by some text-book. The authors have had in mind, while preparing this work, the Manual of Chemistry, by Eliot and Storer although it could be used with any other good text-book of elementary chemistry. It is our plan to require three hours' work per week in the laboratory and two in the recitation room. The experiments here given, with the necessary practice in determining unknown substances by the Key, will probably occupy the class for forty weeks. Some experiments should be indicated by the teacher for omission, if the time alloted for chemistry is too short.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of Physiological Chemistry IN view of the results attained from the course given in physiological chemistry in this University, as well as the experience of others, the author is firmly convinced of the superiority of the laboratory method of instruction over the didactic, believing that it is only by practical work that the student can become familiar with the physio logical changes in progress in the animal body and their products. This book has been prepared with the aim of imparting accurate knowledge through the student's own observation. It has seemed advisable to include with the directions for experimental work a brief explanation of the facts observed, so as to call attention to their meaning; or, at times, to state others which are important, but which could not well be demonstrated in such a course as this. Some acquaintance with general chemistry and with chemical manipulation is presupposed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
