A Series of Chemical Problems for Use in Colleges and Schools, adapted for the Preparation of Students for the Government Science and Society of Arts' Examinations

Abstract

THIS little book contains a number of useful tables and descriptions of the modes of calculation made use of in chemical science, illustrated by examples. Each section is followed by a series of questions, for the most part original, but some of which are selected from the examination papers of the Science and Art department and from the Owens College calendar. The subjects treated are Weights and Measures, Thermometric Scales, Correction of Volumes of Gases, Specific Gravity, Percentage Composition, Quantities of Reagents necessary to form certain Products, Combination and Decomposition of Gaseous Bodies, Determination of Atomic Weights, Calculation of Empirical Formulæ, and of the Results of Analysis, Specific Heat, Latent Heat, and Calorific Power. The collection of questions will doubtless be useful to students preparing for examination, and to teachers endeavouring to familiarise their pupils with the details of chemical investigation.
