82 Ed. CRC Press LLC 2002 -- 1771 pages
The 82nd Edition continues the tradition of updates and improvements. The major
change is a revised and expanded table of Physical Constants of Inorganic Compounds.
The number of compounds has been increased by 12%, the format improved, and the
constants updated. In addition, quantitative data on solubility in water are now included
in the table, and a formula index has been added. Other tables that have been expanded
and updated include:
Critical Constants
Aqueous Solubility and Henry’s Law Constants of Organic Compounds
Chemical Carcinogens
Threshold Limits for Airborne Contaminants
Nomenclature for Organic Polymers
Standard Atomic Weights
Atomic Masses and Abundances
Table of the Isotopes
New topics covered in this edition include:
Surface Tension of Aqueous Mixtures
Viscosity of Carbon Dioxide along the Saturation Line
Gibbs Energy of Formation for Important Biological Species
Optical Properties of Inorganic and Organic Solids
Interstellar Molecules
Allocation of Frequencies in the Radio Spectrum
Units for Magnetic Properties
This electronic version of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics contains all the
material from the print version of the 82nd Edition, as well as some additional data that
could not be accommodated in the printed book. Powerful search capabilities, which are
explained in the Help messages, greatly facilitate the task of locating the data.
