Description

A TEXTBOOK OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY The revised edition of ‘A Textbook of Physical Chemistry’ is intended to meet the requirements of the students of science, engineering and other professional courses at the undergraduate level. It has been planned strictly in line with the syllabi of various Indian Universities who have adopted the new ten-plus-two-plus-three pattern of education The subject matter has been given in a logical, simple and lucid language. The main aim has been on self learning. In this edition some appendices have been added at the end of the book for helping the students. Some more diagrams and illustrations have been added for explaining the fundamentals of the subject. Conventional problems in the earlier edition have been dropped, however general and objective type problems are retained. A considerable number of worked-out problems have been included in most of the chapters. These would expose the students to applications of various concepts and fundamentals of the subject. The revised text largely uses SI units but CGS units have been retained in those cases where the SI units have not as yet been fully appreciated.
