The Experimental Study of Gases: An Account of the Experimental Methods Involved in the Determination of the Properties of Gases, and of the More ... Connected With the Subject (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Discover how early gas research was done—from the lab bench to the precise measurements that changed chemistry.
This classic volume outlines the experimental methods used to determine the properties of gases and surveys the most important research in the field, with an introductory perspective by William Ramsay.
The book provides a practical, method‑driven look at gas manipulation, purification, measurement, and analysis. It also frames historical debates on gas laws, gas densities, and the behavior of rarefied gases, connecting laboratory technique to theoretical insights.- Step‑by‑step descriptions of pumps, seals, and apparatus used to handle gases at high and low pressures.
- Guidance on measuring temperature, pressure, and volume, plus calibration and gas analysis techniques.
- Discussion of liquefaction processes and the study of gases in the helium group.
- Historical context for key constants, laws, and the evolution of experimental methods in gas science.
