Description
One of the greatest experimental scientists of all time, Michael Faraday (1791–1867) developed the first electric motor, electric generator, and dynamo - essentially creating the science of electrochemistry. This book, the result of six lectures he delivered to young students at London's Royal Institution, concerns another form of energy - candlelight. Faraday titled the lectures "The Chemical History of a Candle," choosing the subject because,...

"There's not need for expensive, high-tech lab equipment to conduct chemistry experiments-you probably have all you need in your home junk drawer. Turn three pennies and two galvanized washers into a simple battery. Crush a soda can using atmospheric pressure. Convert an LED flashlight into a simple electrolyte tester. Split liquid water into two unique gasses, or use cornstarch to create a gooey, mysterious, non-Newtonian fluid. And model radioactive...

Chemistry can be one of the more difficult subjects in school, mainly because memorization is crucial. It can be hard to memorize tons of facts and equations. A chemistry equations and answers guide does help students; some more than others. You can refer to the study guide to determine which formula is suitable to use for the question at hand. The more savvy student might consider one or more ways to creatively benefit from the guide. For example,...

"Elements of Chemistry" was first published in 1790 and is largely concerned with the chemistry of combustion. While modern students of chemistry might find the work limited in its scope, the historical impact of its publication cannot be understated. The experiments contained within helped to lay the foundation for the understanding of the role of oxygen, hydrogen, acids, and alcohols in chemical reactions and its emphasis on quantitative analysis...

Electron correlation effects are of vital significance to the calculation of potential energy curves and surfaces, the study of molecular excitation processes, and in the theory of electron-molecule scattering. This text describes methods for addressing one of theoretical chemistry's central problems, the study of electron correlation effects in molecules. Although the energy associated with electron correlation is a small fraction of the total energy...

This text addresses the use of purely thermal data in calculating the position of equilibrium in a chemical reaction. Its argument highlights the physical content of thermodynamics, as distinct from purely mathematical aspects. Methods are limited to a very few of the most elementary operations of the calculus, all of which are explained in an appendix. Readers need no more than a sound background in high school mathematics and physics, as well as...

En en el presente libro se explica cómo obtener cristales súper-planos utilizando un microscopio óptico pequeño.
Las sustancias a cristalizar se pueden preparar a partir de reactivos que se encuentran en el hogar (vitamina C, por ejemplo), como también en laboratorios de colegios o de universidades.
Las imágenes obtenidas permiten que nos planteemos la pregunta: ¿Se trata realmente de arte? Según el renombrado artista francés Marcel Duchamp...
