The Handbook of Inorganic Compounds consists of basic chemistry data for more than 3000 selected gases, liquids, and solid compounds. The compounds are listed alphabetically and indexes located at the back of the book provide the CAS Registry number, molecular formula, and name/synonym. The format for presenting information has both numerical data and descriptive information. The data include: Molecular weight Melting and boiling points Solubility Density Viscosity Hardness Vapor pressure Reactivity Thermal conductivity Thermal expansion coefficient Lattice parameters Electrical resistivity Poisson's ratio Dielectric constant The material in this work includes the mainly the chemical elements, binary compounds of the elements with axions such as sulfate and chloride, and metal salts of some simple organic acids. If a compound has more than one form, then each form may be listed individually. If you need: property data for compounds, CAS RN numbers for computer or other searches, a consistent tabulation of molecular weights, to synthesize inorganic materials on a laboratory scale, information on commercial and other uses for many compounds then the Handbook of Inorganic Compounds is the perfect reference to have on your shelf.

"...[T]he tradition this young poet most significantly keeps alive in them is the great poetic tradition of wit as serious means. In such writing, wit -- as the old expression has it -- cuts to the quick." (Robert Pinsky for The Washington Post) "Sublimation Point is like a perfect pop song, making the listener glad to be alive. Jason Schneiderman doesn't strive for complication: he wins us over with rueful plain-speaking. He has Anne Sexton's directness, Max Jacob's eye for incongruity. Tragedy enters the picture, and becomes the frame: nowhere do these poems forget their nemesis, mortality." (Wayne Koestenbaum) "Grave, sweetly questioning, often irreverently funny, Jason Schneiderman's poems about love and death, the Holocaust and family history, self knowledge and self deception give this book a range and tonal variety that is extremely rare for any poet, let alone a first book: Schneiderman has imagined his work broadly, and executed it with great skill, passion, and intelligence." (Tom Sleigh)

This title is a revision of Experimental Thermodynamics Volume II, published in 1975, reflecting the significant technological developments and new methods introduced into the study of measurement of thermodynamic quantities.The editors of this volume were assigned the task of assembling an international team of distinguished experimentalists, to describe the current state of development of the techniques of measurement of the thermodynamic quantities of single phases. The resulting volume admirably fulfils this brief and contains a valuable summary of a large variety of experimental techniques applicable over a wide range of thermodynamic states with an emphasis on the precision and accuracy of the results obtained. Those interested in the art of measurements, and in particular engaged in the measurement of thermodynamic properties, will find this material invaluable for the guidance it provides towards the development of new and more accurate techniques. · Provides detailed descriptions of experimental chemical thermodynamic methods· Strong practical bias and includes both detailed working equations and figures for the experimental methods· Most comprehensive text in this field since the publication of Experimental Thermodynamics II
