<div><div><div>Appropriate for junior-level courses, the modernized new edition of Halpern and McBane's physical chemistry lab manual offers an exceptional variety of tested and proven experiments--as well as detailed theoretical background material and clearly stated procedural objectives to help students understand the context and purpose of each procedure.  The manual is well suited to accompany Atkins/de Paula, <i>Physical Chemistry, Eighth Edition</i>, but it works equally well as a stand-alone manual or with any other text.<br> <br>In addition, the labs represent challenging, quantitative determinations of   properties that can be checked against literature values; and, in many cases, they demonstrate the advantages that the computer offers in data  acquisition, data analysis, and also in the computation of physical chemical properties.</div></div></div>
