Solubilities Of Inorganic And Organic Substances; A Handbook Of The Most Reliable Quantitative Solubility Determinations

An indispensable ledger of solubilities, compiled for lasting laboratory use. Data you can trust absolutely. Originally compiled in the era of early 20th century science, Atherton Seidell's Solubilities of Inorganic and Organic Substances stands as a chemical solubility handbook and scientific reference guide. It assembles meticulously measured quantitative solubility data, treating inorganic compound solubilities and organic substance solubility with equal rigour. Its tabulated findings provide a firm baseline for experiment design, concentration calculations and cross-checking modern values; as a laboratory research resource it supports reproducible experiments and methodical planning. Practising chemists and researchers have relied on such handbooks for generations, and here the combination of breadth and exactitude makes the volume an authoritative scientific compendium. Even in the age of searchable databases, Seidell's careful assembly offers context and a human-readable audit trail of measurements, especially valuable where automated sources diverge. Teachers and students find the tables a lucid primer on solubility principles; industrial scientists consult the data when scaling reactions or selecting solvents and concentrations. The book's value extends beyond immediate practice: as a classic chemistry reference it captures the methods and assumptions of a formative period, and scholars interested in early 20th century science will find it indispensable for tracing the evolution of analytical norms. Clear, exacting entries make the material approachable for curious readers, while the work's provenance and depth earn it a secure place on any academic library collection and a prized slot among classic-literature collectors. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Whether consulted at the bench, used in teaching, examined by historians, or added to a private library, this handbook of solubilities rewards both practical use and quiet contemplation. Essential reference for libraries.
