Gives a critical and detailed survey of the solubility in a wide range of liquids of all gases in common use. The first part covers basic theoretical and practical aspects of the measurement of solubilities of gases. Limitations in the reliability of the available data are discussed and ways of predicting approximate solubilities of gases are indicated. Tables of solubility data for dissolution in aqueous and non-aqueous solvents are also included. Also contains diagrams and graphs that show the variation of solubility with pressure or temperature. Will leave the reader with a solid overview of the differing gas solubilities under conditions commonly encountered in chemical plants and laboratories.

The solubility of gases and liquids in liquids is of great importance in large areas of operations based on chemical concepts. Phenomena have appeared to be so varied that even experts have from time to time remarked on the difficulty of seeing a consistent pattern. Now for the first time the essential pattern of all known gas solubility data is set out in a graphic form for all to see. The continuous merging of the gas-liquid systems and the liquid-liquid systems is also illustrated. The pattern opens the way to rational predictions. The new data given for the lower alkanes and alkenes, the three methylamines, ammonia, bromomethane, and chloroethane, together with my previously reported data on hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl ether, chloromethane, and sulfur dioxide, have been obtained by a bubbler-manometer procedure which is fully described. Not only are these data of significance in many chemical processes, but they have also been vital to the development of the overall essential pattern covering all gases. The book is for chemists, chemical engineers, biotechnologists, certain physi cists, and teachers and students in these disciplines. It is a book for all those who are concerned with the use and inculcation of the fundamental, even rudimentary, principles of chemistry.

Emphasises on contemporary applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach that helps students discover the exciting potential of chemical science. This book incorporates fresh applications from the three major areas of modern research: materials, environmental chemistry, and biological science.

* Guidelines are provided on the reliability of various methods, as well as information for selecting the appropriate technique. * Unique coverage of the whole range of solubility measurements. * Very useful for investigators interested in embarking upon solubility measurements.
