Physical Chemistry Solutions Manual


Robert A. Alberty - 1987
    Each new edition has benefited from their suggestions and expert advice. The result of this remarkable tradition is now in your hands. Now revised and updated, this Fourth Edition of Physical Chemistry by Silbey, Alberty, and Bawendi continues to present exceptionally clear explanations of concepts and methods. The basic theory of chemistry is presented from the viewpoint of academic physical chemists, but detailed discussions of practical applications are integrated throughout. The problems in the book also skillfully blend theory and applications.Highlights of the Fourth Edition: A total of 170 computer problems appropriate for MATHEMATICATM, MATHCADTM, MATLABTM, or MAPLETM. Increased emphasis on the thermodynamics and kinetics of biochemical reactions, including the denaturation of proteins and nucleic acids. Expanded coverage of the uses of statistical mechanics, nuclear magnetic relaxation, nanoscience, and oscillating chemical reactions. Many new tables and figures throughout the text.

The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary Of Chemistry


Jane Wertheim - 1987
    -- Great Study AIDS -- Topics arranged thematically so that words are explained in context-- Fully integrated system of cross referencing plus a comprehensive index-- Illustrated Dictionary of Science contains recommended Web sites

Holography Handbook: Making Holograms the Easy Way


Fred Unterseher - 1987
    "A book that describes how to make holograms that work - easily - and without a lot of mumbo jumbo." A "do-it-first, ask questions later book."

Materials for Conservation: Organic Consolidants, Adhesives and Coatings


C.V. Horie - 1987
    This study provides a summary of information in the light of the increasing use of synthetic polymers to ameliorate the deterioration of objects, and thus the increased range of techniques available to conservators.

Solid State Chemistry and Its Applications


Anthony R. West - 1987
    Describes synthetic methods, X-ray diffraction, principles of inorganic crystal structures, crystal chemistry and bonding in solids; phase diagrams of 1, 2 and 3 component systems; the electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of solids; three groups of industrially important inorganic solids--glass, cement, and refractories; and certain aspects of organic solid state chemistry, including the ``organic metal'' of new materials.

Handbook of Coating Additives


Leonard J. Calbo - 1987
    

Composite Materials: Science and Engineering


Krishan Kumar Chawla - 1987
    A detailed description is given of how microstructure of different fibers (such as glass, Kevlar, polyethylene, carbon, boron, silicon, carbide, alumina etc.) controls their characteristics. The important role of interface in composite materials is discussed. Up to date information about the recent advances in polymer matrix-, metal matrix-, and ceramic matrix composites is provided. Micro- and macromechanical aspects of composite materials as well as their strength, fracture, and design aspects are described in detail - always emphasizing the basic theme of how the structure controls the resultant properties. Extensive use is made of micrographs and line drawings to bring home to the reader the importance of structure-property relationships in composites. Throughout the book, examples are given from practical applications of composites in various fields. Extensive references to the literature, general bibliography, as well as practice problems are provided. The book is intended for undergraduates (senior level) and first year graduate students as well as the practicing engineer/scientist in the industry.

The Art of Problem Solving in Organic Chemistry


Miguel E. Alonso - 1987
    Concentrates on necessary and fundamental concepts in the introductory chapters. Valuable not only as a study guide and source of interesting problems, but also as an illustration of reactions and phenomena of general interest.
