Abstract
THE third edition of Prof. Eggert's “Physical Chemistry” has been translated by Dr. Gregg, of King's College, London. The book is divided into three parts. The first part on “Atomics and Energetics” includes sections on classical chemical theory, thermodynamics, kinetic theory and quantum theory, all treated very briefly in about eighty pages. The second part, on “The Nature of Matter”, occupying about 230 pages, is divided into three main sections, atoms, molecules and states of aggregation. The third part, on “Chemical Reactions” which occupies the remaining half of the book, has five mam sections, on chemical equilibrium, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics and photochemistry.
