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. |

Although our present concern is not primarily directed to ionic solutions in such solvents as water, ammonia, or alcohols, it should first be pointed out that solute ions interact strongly with the dipoles in solvent molecules.

In addition to orienting the permanent dipoles of the solvent, ions in solution also create or induce additional dipoles in the solvent molecules. The cation draws electrons toward itself, so that the induced dipole is in the same sense ...

Measurements of the effect of macromolecules on the viscosity of a solvent have, however, been quite successfully applied to determination of the size and shape of the macromolecules.

For some solutions it is convenient to designate one material as the solvent and the other material or materials as solutes. The solvent can be defined as the substance whose physical state is preserved when the solution is formed.
