Excerpt from Textbook of Physical Chemistry
This textbook is intended primarily for the use of classes beginning the subject of Physical Chemistry. In the preparation of the text I have endeavored to keep in mind that the presentation is to students who meet the subject matter for the first time, and that they are to acquire a broad foundation for their subsequent work. As some time intervenes between the elementary courses in which the fundamental ideas of chemistry are presented and the time at which the work in Physical Chemistry is given, it is found that a short review of these fundamental concepts is necessary in order to have the student properly oriented as to the relationship of his elementary work and that which is usually incorporated in a course in Physical Chemistry. That this is absolutely necessary is the experience of most teachers, and the result can be attained more quickly by briefly restating this fundamental matter in a form in which it can subsequently be utilized. Hence, there is given a resume of some of the information which the student is assumed to have in order to place him in a position to correlate the new material with that which he already possesses.
The order of topics usually follows the logical development of the subject matter in that the experimental data are first presented with the statement of the laws, then the explanation of the facts by the formulation of the theory.
