Sinopsis

A Compendium Of Chemistry: Including General, Inorganic, And Organic Chemistry (1904) is a comprehensive guide to the study of chemistry written by Carl Arnold. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the principles of chemistry, the properties and behavior of matter, chemical reactions and equations, and the structure and function of organic and inorganic compounds. The author provides detailed explanations and examples of key concepts, as well as numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding. This book is intended for students of chemistry and anyone interested in gaining a thorough understanding of the subject. It is a valuable resource for those pursuing a career in chemistry, as well as for professionals in related fields. Overall, A Compendium Of Chemistry is a timeless reference that remains relevant and informative over a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The aim of the natural sciences is the investigation of the objects and processes of nature. They are divided into the special sciences, each of which is devoted to a certain kingdom of nature or a portion thereof, and the general sciences, which are confined to no special kingdom of nature. The general sciences are divided into physics and chemistry. The earlier division of the natural sciences into descriptive (including natural history, botany, zoology, mineralogy, and astronomy) and exact (including natural philosophy, chemistry, physics, and biology) is no longer in accordance with the conditions, since chemistry, on the one hand, as it must also take into consideration the external characteristics of chemical substances, is at once a descriptive science, while, on the other hand, botany, etc., since they must investigate not only the external reality but also the chemical and physical changes transpiring within, are exact as well as descriptive sciences. Matter, material, or substance may be defined as anything which can be weighed without reference to its configuration. Body is the name given to anything having a definite form. For example, iron, glass, and marble are forms of matter, while a knife, a drinking-glass, and a marble statue are bodies. Chemistry is the science of matter, its properties and its changes; its foundation is the law of the conservation of matter (p. 10), which states that no loss of matter can take place in any chemical change. All phenomena which accompany an alteration of matter belong to the domain of chemistry. For example, sulphur and iron mixed together give an apparently homogeneous, gray powder, in which, however, the separate particles of iron and sulphur can be detected with the aid of a microscope and can be separated from each other by a magnet.
