Description of  An Introduction to Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions

An Introduction to Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions is acomprehensive coverage of solution equilibria and properties ofaqueous ionic solutions. Acid/base equilibria, ion pairing, complexformation, solubilities, reversible emf’s and experimentalconductance studies are all illustrated by many worked examples.Theories of non-ideality leading to expressions for activitycoefficients, conductance theories and investigations of solvationare described great care being taken to provide detailed verbalclarification of the key concepts of these theories. Thetheoretical development focuses on the physical aspects, with themathematical development being fully explained. An overview of thethermodynamic background is given. Each chapter includes intended learning outcomes and workedproblems and examples to encourage student understanding of thismultidisciplinary subject. An invaluable text for students taking courses in chemistry andchemical engineering. This book will also be useful for biology,biochemistry and biophysics students who may be required to studyelectrochemistry as part of their course. A comprehensive introduction to the behaviour and properties ofaqueous ionic solutions, including clear explanation anddevelopment of key concepts and theories Clear, student friendly style clarifying complex aspects whichstudents find difficult Key developments in concepts and theory explained in adescriptive manner to encourage student understanding Includes worked problems and examples throughout
