About the Book:

This book is concerned with the new syllabus and topics in chemistry subject introduced by the JNTUK and JNTUA. It will be useful in I B.Tech graduate students studying chemistry in their course structure and also to the practicing engineering post-graduates, looking for a concise overview of this area. We included the study material including the question and bit bank helps to gain knowledge in this subject. In addition, we included the list of laboratory procedures and additional experiments in this edition to encourage the students in their future work.

Our aim is to provide sufficient information for the student to be able study this course in their graduation synthetic problems, and also to avoid the pitfalls involved in their use.

I would also like to thank my parents and wife for their constant encouragement.
