PUBLISHER: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Date: 1972 ISBN: 0471315907 FORMAT: Hardcover, 537 pages EDITION: Reprint Edition PRINTING [if applicable]: 32nd Printing BOOK CONDITION: As New JACKET CONDITION: No Jacket (As Issued) DIMENSIONS (if available): 11.5 x 8.25 x 1.0 in. approx. KEYWORDS: Chemistry, Companion, Handbook, Practical, Data, Technique, Reference DESCRIPTION: From the publisher's description: Here in one source is a wide variety of practical, everyday information often required by chemists but seldom found together,if at all, in the standard handbooks, data collections, manuals,and other usual sources. Discussing physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of substances and systems, the authors answer such questions as: * How do I test for and destroy peroxides in different solvents and what is the best way to purify such solvents?* What are the structure, physical properties, and recent references to the use of common-name solvents and solvent aids such as the "Skellysolves," "Cellosolves," "Crownanes," and"Glymes"?* What is the utility of a particular molecular sieve, or permeation gel, or epoxy cement, or liquid crystal, and where do Ibuy them and find references to their application? The book is divided into nine chapters and covers properties of atoms and molecules, spectroscopy, photochemistry, chromatography,kinetics and thermodynamics, various experimental techniques, and mathematical and numerical information, including the definitions,values, and usage rules of the newly adopted International System of Units (SI Units). A section on statistical treatment of data which provides an actual least-squares computer program is also included. In the spectroscopy chapter, very extensive and up-to-date collections of spectral correlation data are presented for IR, UV-VIS, optical rotation, NMR, and mass spectra, along with data on ESR and NQR spectroscopy. Also included is a variety of hard-to-classify but frequently sought information, such as names and addresses of microanalysis companies and chemistry publishers, descriptions and commercial sources of atomic and molecular models,and safety data for hazardous chemicals. More than 500 key references are also included, most of which are recent. There are important hints and definitions associated with the art as well as the state of the art for the appropriate subjects. Also found throughout the book are about 250 suppliers and directions for obtaining special booklets or other material. Containing a wealth of useful information, The Chemist's Companion will be an indispensable guide for students and professional chemists in nearly all the chemical disciplines. In addition, it will provide for the teacher and student an unusual adjunct for use in a broad cross-section of chemistry courses. This edition is an early-2000s reprinting of the original 1972 edition. CONDITION: Shows only the lightest of light evidence of shelf-wear, else as new. Shiny black cloth-covered boards, this edition did not come in a dustjacket. This was originally stock from a retail science store (now defunct), ordered directly from the publisher.
