The iconic chemistry handbook―extensively updated and thoroughly up to date
The standard reference for chemists for more than 70 years, this resource contains vast amounts of facts, data, tabular material, and experimental findings in every area of chemistry. Included in this fully updated compendium are listings of the properties of more than 4,000 organic and 1,400 inorganic compounds.
Lange’s Handbook of Chemistry, 17th Edition, is divided into six sections―general information and conversion tables, spectroscopy, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, petroleum and petroleum products, biomass and biofuels, and environmental science. Existing tables have been thoroughly overhauled and new tables have been added that cover the properties of coal, minerals, natural gas, oil shale, and petroleum.
• Features equations that allow you to calculate important values such as temperature and pressure
• Contains newly expanded sections on timely topics, including the properties of petroleum products, the environmental properties of chemicals, and proper clean-up methods
• Includes updated viscosity, thermal conductivity, critical constants, explosion limits, and vapor density data
