Experience in the use of the first edition has indicated ways in which the book may be made more useful to the student. With two exceptions these have not involved any major change in the plan of the text. However, the number of minor changes is such that many portions of the book have been completely rewritten. I some cases material has been omitted when its value to the student did not seem to justify its retention. In other cases new material has been added and old material has been revised and expanded. In all cases the attempt has been made to approach each topic from the student's standpoint, with the objective of making the subject matter increasingly, intelligible to him without sacrifice of accuracy. The first major change is in the discussion of protolytic equilibrium. This is treated in a manner which it is hoped will prove less cumbersome than the conventional approach as it decreases appreciably the number of separate equations to be learned by the student. The second major change is the introduction of a chapter on thermodynamics. The author believes that the advantages of even the most elementary knowledge of this subject are such as to justify its inclusion in this text. The chapter introduces the terms energy, heat content, reversible process, entropy, and free energy. It shows the relation between free-energy changes, electrode potentials, and equilibrium constants. Simple illustrative problems are worked out, and the mathematics of the discussion is kept as simple as possible. Some of the changes have necessitated the use of equations whose derivation is beyond the scope of the book. However, every effort has been made to point out the significance and the limitations of these equations so that the student can use them intelligently. The conventions concerning the sign of electrode potentials have been changed to conform to those employed by the majority of writers on physical chemistry.........."
