Abstract
“THE inability to balance a chemical equation is a most common difficulty to students of chemistry.” The author has attempted to remedy this very common weakness, and in addition to a concise explanation of chemical notation, including difficult cases of oxidation and reduction and ionic reactions, has provided a list of more than four hundred classified and indexed chemical equations. The book should prove a useful companion to degree students. In the list of solubilities “to be memorised” one finds: “BORATES are SOLUBLE,” which is not strictly correct, since most borates are insoluble.
