Publisher's Synopsis
""Chemical Reports and Memoirs on: Atomic Volume, Isomorphism, Endosmosis, Contrast of Colors, Latent Heat of Steam and Artificial Formation of Alkaloids"" is a book written by Thomas Graham, a Scottish chemist who made significant contributions to the field of physical chemistry. The book is a collection of Graham's research papers and reports on various topics in chemistry, including atomic volume, isomorphism, endosmosis, contrast of colors, latent heat of steam, and artificial formation of alkaloids. Graham's work on atomic volume and isomorphism helped to establish the concept of the molecular structure of compounds, while his studies on endosmosis led to a better understanding of the movement of fluids through membranes. His research on the contrast of colors in chemical reactions also contributed to the development of colorimetry as a quantitative analytical tool. In addition, the book includes Graham's investigations into the latent heat of steam, which helped to refine the measurement of heat energy, as well as his experiments on the artificial formation of alkaloids, which were important in the development of pharmaceuticals. Overall, ""Chemical Reports and Memoirs on: Atomic Volume, Isomorphism, Endosmosis, Contrast of Colors, Latent Heat of Steam and Artificial Formation of Alkaloids"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of chemistry and the contributions of one of its most influential figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
