A Textbook of Chemistry

By William Albert Noyes

Book Overview

A Textbook of Chemistry ..It is believed that the development of our knowledge during the last few years fully justifies this course. The theory of ionization has also been freely used, as the only means we have by which a large class of phenomena can be clearly presented and understood. It seems desirable to give some material which it is not possible to emphasize or teach thoroughly in a brief course and some things which are rather for reference than to be learned. To aid teachers and students in distinguishing such paragraphs, they are indicated by an asterisk. This device, which was, I think, first used by Professor Ostwald, is better adapted than the use of fine print to the need of teachers who may wish to make a different selection. Students are earnestly advised to read these paragraphs, even when they are not expected to acquire a full knowledge of them. I wish to express my very sincere thanks to the following members of the Chemical Staff of the University of Illinois, some of whom have met with me almost weekly for three years to read and criticize the successive chapters of the book. The criticisms have been very valuable and helpful. C.W. Balke, S.J. Bates, Edward Bartow, G.D. Beal, L. L.Burgess, E.S. Curtiss, C.G. Derick, Lambert Thorp, B.S. Hopkins, Helen Isham (Mattill), Grinnell Jones, C.G. MacArthur, EllenS. McCarthy (Foley), D.F. McFarland, D.A. Maclnnes, C.F. Nelson, S. W.Parr, G.McP. Smith, E.K. Strachan, E.W. Washburn, H.C. P.Weber. I wish also to express my gratitude to Professor Edward W.Morley, Professor Julius Stieglitz of the University of Chicago, Professor J.Bishop Tingle of MacMaster University, and Mr. C.M. Wirick of the Crane Technical High School of Chicago, who have read the proofs and made many useful suggestions. I am also indebted to Professor K.B. Moore of the Bureau of Mines for some valuable criticisms, of the paragraph on Radioactivity.
