Physical Chemistry Laboratory Manual: An Interdisciplinary Approach

This book covers the latest syllabus of CBCS pattern of Delhi and other universities for both B.Sc. Programme and Honours courses. A large number of Physical Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, Nanoscience, Polymer Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry experiments have been covered using interdisciplinary and innovative methods. The contents include some fundamental chemical concepts, measurement of surface tension and viscosity, colorimetry, determination of order of a reaction, hetrogeneous equilibria, adsorption on solid surfaces, thermochemical measurements, conductometric and potentiometric measurements, pH metry, environmental parameter analysis, etc. Wherever possible, two or more methods are given. So the teachers and students will have a choice to make depending on the availability of chemicals, apparatus, instruments, time, etc. This book will give them the opportunity to relate theory and practicals for a better understanding of the subject. Salient Interdisciplinary and innovative methods. For undergraduate students of science, engineering and environmental sciences. Useful experiments, beyond the syllabus, are also given under 'Miscellaneous Experiments'. Wherever possible, two or more methods are given. Brief account of the principles required for each experiment is provided.
