Fundamentals of Chemistry Part II

Popis

This book is about fundamental concepts that any chemistry student should not only be aware of but proficient at. This chemistry book deals with electrochemistry, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, thermochemistry, and includes several numerical examples to apply the new concepts. Additional exercises and their solutions will be provided in the third volume of “Fundamental of Chemistry”.
