Essentials of Physical Chemistry by Arun Bahl

New colour drawings and photographs make the artwork more realistic and easier to understand. Flowcharts, important rules walk students through chemical processes in a simple, straight forward manner.

Special-interest boxes describe current applications of the subject.

Solved problems are located throughout the text. These solved problems emphasize a step-by-step approach to solving problems.
