Physical chemistry experiments have always been fascinating. This book is about selected Physical Chemistry Experiments for undergraduate students. The primary aim of this book is to give an outline of the selected mundane physical chemistry experimental work .This book is not a systematic course of set of experiments but caters to general guidelines and set of rules for reporting a practical experiment. A student referring this book will be able to follow the experimental procedure which is written in an easy language, note down the readings and arrive at the results of the experiment. This book includes selected experiments in Kinetics involving determination of the orders of few reactions, study on CST of phenol-water system, eutectic temperature, determination of physical constants, electrochemistry, potentiometry, colorimetry and adsorption. Although there are several reference books on Physical Chemistry Experiments, this book is intended to cater to the needs of the undergraduate student of the Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.The authors thank the authorities of Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore for the facilities provided and support rendered in bringing out this book.
