PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY: A Laboratory Manual has been designed to meet the need of graduate and postgraduate students. The language is simple and the students can perform the experiments themselves without much help from the teacher. In each chapter, complete theory has been introduced before the start of experiment. Each experiment has been designed in a format that is adopted by the students in writing their notebooks. The tables for experimental observations have also been provided. Important precautions, suggestions and further experimental works for advance workers or researchers have been included under heading ‘Things to Remember’. The Appendix comprises of sufficient number of tables of physical constants that can help in completing experiments. The book will be very helpful for establishment of laboratory as the Appendix includes list of chemicals and apparatuses. At the end an Index has been provided to help students in searching the things they need.
