✦ Synopsis

The material presented in this text can be covered in one semester but it is a thorough and adequate presentation of the elementary principles of physical chemistry and those phases of the subject most valuable to a medical student. The two major changes over the first edition published in 1945, are in the simplified discussion of protolytic equilibrium and the inclusion of a chapter on thermodynamics. This chapter is especially useful in understanding chemical equilibrium and electrode and cell potential. The subject matter in the entire text is very clearly written and the mathematics is kept as simple as possible. In most cases the derivations of the equations used are included. In a few instances these derivations have required the use of calculus, but otherwise the mathematical demands are limited to an ability to solve quadratic equations and to use logarithms. An excellent choice of problems is found at the end of each chapter. Also included in this text is a complete and up to date list of visual materials relevant to the subject matter of each chapter.
