College Science Bundle: The three college level courses - General Chemistry, General Physics (calculus) and Organic chemistry, bundled together in one package.
High School Science Bundle: The two high school level courses- Introductory Chemistry and General Physics (non- calculus), bundled together into one package. This bundle is very popular with High School and Home School students.
Can you be Electrocuted while showering during an Electric Storm?
It is a known fact that water and electricity should not be used at the same time but have you ever wondered why? Were you ever told that you could be electrocuted while showering or bathing, during an electric storm? Can an electric current really flow through water? Continue reading
Arrhenius Theory in Relation to Acids, Bases and Electrolytes
Click to enlarge
The Arrhenius theory of electrolytic dissociation is expressed in Chapter 7.3 of the Physical Chemistry book. The theory stated that electrolytes such as acids, bases and salts dissociated into their component ions in aqueous solution.
Arrhenius further stipulated that some electrolytes dissociated completely (strong electrolytes) and some dissociated only partially (weak electrolytes) (Fig. 7.2 above). The Arrhenius theory was later used to explain the acid-base concept. Continue reading
The Donnan Phenomenon in Living Cell Functions
Click to enlarge
The Donnan phenomenon is not only limited to thermodynamic concepts in physical chemistry. It can be used to help us understand how living cells function. This post presents the significance of this phenomenon in every day molecular processes. The chemical aspect of the topic is captured in Chapter 7 of the Physical Chemistry book. Continue reading

Chapters 1 to 6 of Physical Chemistry - Laidler, Meiser, Sanctuary
Includes multimedia that opens on relevant pages and allows the student to visualize many of the concepts by varying parameters and plotting different graphs. Things students often have difficulty with, such as isothermal, isobaric, isochoric and adiabatic process, are clearly visualized.

Physical Chemistry textbook
by Laidler, Meiser, Sanctuary
This popular Physical Chemistry text book is now available in electronic format. We have preserved much of the material of the former hard copy editions, making changes to improve understanding of the concepts in addition to including some of the recent discoveries in physical chemistry. Many chapters have new sections and the coverage of several chapters has been greatly expanded.
