Synopsis

From science fair entrants to Nobel laureates, researchers around the world depend upon having access to authoritative, up-to-date data. And for nearly 90 years, they have relied on the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics for that data.

This year is no exception. New tables, extensive updates, and added sections mean the Handbook has once again set a new standard for reliability, utility, and thoroughness.

Outstanding features of the 83rd edition:

Standard Thermodynamic Properties of Chemical Substances-Thoroughly revised with new substances and updated values

Ionization constants for buffers used in biological research-Definitive data that allow the correct interpretation of experiments

Directory of Physical and Chemical Data Sources-A selective listing of the most reliable sources of physical and chemical properties data, including data journals, data centers, major handbooks, and Internet sites

Atomic weights-Updated with the latest changes adopted by IUPAC in 2001

Other refinements and new topics include:

Atomic and Molecular Polarizabilities Updated

Characteristic Bond Lengths in Free Molecules New!

Correction of Barometer Readings to 0°C Temperature New!

Electron Affinities Updated

Eutectic Temperatures of Low-Melting Alloys New!

Nuclear Spins and Moments for NMR Spectroscopy Updated

Permittivity of Water as a Function of Temperature and Pressure New!

Sensitivity of the Human Eye to Light of Different Wavelengths New!

Thermodynamic Functions and Relations New!

Vapor Pressure of Mercury New!

Viscosity and Density of Concentrated Hydroxide Solutions New!

Viscosity of Liquid Metals New!

About this title

Synopsis

The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has always provided a thorough range of critically evaluated data in a convenient, one-volume format that forms the world's leading source of scientific data. Now in its 83rd edition, the handbook includes a range of new topics and tables that reflect emerging and active areas of current research. Most important among this year's revisions is an update of the Thermochemistry, Electrochemistry, and Kinetics section and the Geophysics, Astronomy, and Acoustics section. New topics include viscosity of liquid metals, an expansion of the biochemistry section, which includes a chapter on thermodynamic quantities for ionization reactions used in biological research, and the Directory of Physical and Chemical Data Sources. This directory lists of sources of data including special data journals and book series, data centers, such as those at NIST, and Internet sites.
