TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE.

Original printed spelling and grammar is generally retained. Footnotes were renumbered and relocated to the ends of chapters. Notes to tables were left in their original locations. Some mathematical and chemical formulas and equations were modified in format or rearranged. Original small caps type Looks like This. The transcriber created the cover image, and hereby releases it to the public domain.

This book uses many uncommon Unicode characters, and careful selection of the ebook reader software and font used to view it is necessary. Some of the uncommon characters not already mentioned are: U+2296 ⊖, U+2295 ⊕, U+221E ∞, U+221B ∛, U+2212 −, U+21C4 ⇄, U+2192 →, U+21C5 ⇅, U+2572 ╲, and U+2571 ╱, etc. A monospaced font will improve the appearance of the data tables. However, the Thin Space U+2009 is used in most of the chemical and mathematical equations, and an exact monospaced font will not display Thin Space correctly. Adobe's "Source Code Pro" is an unusual "monospace font" that does display Thin Space and the data tables correctly.

The archaic form of scientific notation exemplified by "0.0413", is herein simplified either to decimal form—"0.000013"in this example—or to modern scientific E notation, "1.3E−5". In this, "E" means "times ten raised to the power of". Furthermore, E notation has also been substituted herein for many numbers originally printed like this: "a × 10b ".

The name "van't Hoff" was changed to "van 't Hoff" throughout; likewise "Van't" to "Van 't". The hyphen is used inconsistently throughout the book, in words such as "hydrogen-ion" versus "hydrogen ion" or "non-ionized" versus "nonionizied". These have been retained. The word "difficulty" was sometimes employed as an adverb; herein it is converted to "difficultly" in this usage.
