SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for comprehensive chemistry textbooks and data books suitable for university-level study. Key suggestions include the "CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics," known for its extensive 2,500 pages of data, and "Aylward and Findlay: SI Chemical Data" as a more affordable alternative. Other notable mentions are "Nuffield Advanced Science Book of Data" and "Kay and Laby: Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants." The inquiry also addresses the depth of content in "Lewis and Evans: Chemistry," specifically regarding advanced acid/base equations and solubility product examples.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic chemistry concepts and terminology.
  • Familiarity with chemical data and constants.
  • Knowledge of acid/base chemistry and solubility principles.
  • Ability to interpret and utilize scientific literature.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the "CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics" for comprehensive data references.
  • Explore "Aylward and Findlay: SI Chemical Data" for practical applications in chemistry.
  • Investigate "Lewis and Evans: Chemistry" for advanced topics in acid/base chemistry.
  • Review "Kay and Laby: Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants" for essential constants in chemical calculations.
USEFUL FOR

Students in chemistry programs, educators seeking reliable textbooks, and professionals needing a reference for chemical data and constants.

Hi.
I'm looking for a good 101 chemistry book (still big in size) for university. The kind of all around book with all the useful formulas, and explanation for how they are used.

Another type of book I'm looking for is a good datebook for chemistry, with all the table values such as ΔH ΔS (entropy) etc.

Any suggestions? :)

CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 2.5k pages of pure data.
 
Lewis and Evans : Chemistry

If the CRC book is to pricey then

Aylward and Findlay : SI Chemical Data

Nuffield Advanced Science Book of Data

Kay and Laby : Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants
 
Hey, thank you for the reply. Does Lewis and Evans include advanced acid/base equations and advanced sulubility product examples or is it more superficial?
