A System Of Chemistry Vol 2 Of 5 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1898, Vol. 2 The present paper is a commentary on and a complement to the celebrated memoir of J. Willard Gibbs 'on the Equilib tium of Heterogeneous Substances. All chemists now know, how, in this memoir, the illustrious New Haven professor has deduced from the principles of thermodynamics the equations which represent the states of equilibrium of all chemical sys tems; all know, under the name of the phase rule, ' the weighty theorems which he has found through comparing the number of unknown quantities to be determined, with the num ber of independent equations subsisting among them. The labors of H. W. Bakhuis Roozeboom and of his pupils have illustrated the bearing of the phase rule, in applying it to the discussion of a host of complex chemical reactions; and the special treatises of W. Meyerhof'fer3 and of Wilder D. Bancroft4 have assembled under it the chief problems of chemical me chanics.
