Review Questions And Problems in Chemistry

to make a scientific application of his knowledge. This book has been prepared as a review of the theories and la vso f elementary chemistry, and there has been added to each topic a sufficient nunlber of p1-oblems to make a thorough application of the students knowledge. It presumes on tl es tudents part a thorough acquaiiltance with physical mixtures, laws of densities and specific gravity, laws of heat and electricity, the metric systenl, and an adequate training in some good textbook in elementary chemistry. These questions and problems have been taken from the most recent college, College Board, and Regents of the State of New York examinations, and from the latest and most huthoritative textbooks, and will be found from the authors experience more than sufficient to prepare a student for the kntrance examinations for any college, or for the College Board examinations. The questions and problems are classified so that a chapter or parts of one may be taken up, in connection with the textbook used in thc class, for clinching the principles studied, or the book may be used as a preexainination review. It is REVIE r QUESTIOSS AND PROBLEIIS not necessary that the student should solve all the problems, but such selection should be made as will assure the instructor that he is adequately prepared. It must be observed in the use of the book that the student must seek much necessary information from his text, and there should be accessible several good textbooks for handy reference. . Reference to the appendixes will be found helpful in solving inany of the problems.
