Physical Chemistry and Its Biological ApplicationsPhysical Chemistry and Its Biological Applications presents the basic principles of physical chemistry and shows how the methods of physical chemistry are being applied to increase understanding of living systems. Chapters 1 and 2 of the book discuss states of matter and solutions of nonelectrolytes. Chapters 3 to 5 examine laws in thermodynamics and solutions of electrolytes. Chapters 6 to 8 look at acid-base equilibria and the link between electromagnetic radiation and the structure of atoms. Chapters 9 to 11 cover different types of bonding, the rates of chemical reactions, and the process of adsorption. Chapters 12 to 14 present molecular aggregates, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and photochemistry, and radiation. This book is useful to biological scientists for self-study and reference. With modest additions of mathematical material by the teacher, the book should also be suitable for a full-year major's course in physical chemistry. |

A further increase in the temperature of the liquid decreases its viscosity, a measure of its resistance to flow, and finally a temperature is reached at which another change of state occurs, the formation of a vapor.

This occurs when a hydrogen atom is attached to an electron-attracting atom, typically oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen, so that the hydrogen is the positive end of an electric dipole and is then attracted to an atom at the negative end of ...

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which visible evolution of bubbles of vapor occurs at a particular value of the external pressure. The normal boiling point, which is commonly cited as the boiling point of a liquid, ...
