The first edition of 'Principles of Physical Chemistry' was published in 1968 and the third edition came in
1974. The authors did not make attempts to bring out further editions of the book aS at ih.. time science
text books written in Bengali were preferred by the students. We had forgotten about the hook. Professor
M. A. Nawab, the senior author expired in 1993. Then about three years back a former student of mine who
was doing undergraduate studies in Pharmac y in a Private University in Dhaka showed me a photocopy of
the original third edition of the book which was being used as a text book. This was described as a 'full),
revised edition'. A survey revealed that a large number of students in different universities and colleges in
Bangladesh ere using this 'fully revised edition' as a text hook of Physical Chemistry. As mentioned this
was not a Revised Edition as the authors did not make any revision after the third edition. Professor M.
Yousuf A. Mollah. Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Dhaka University. persuaded me to prepare a
revised edition, I agreed on condition that he will be a co-author. The book on Physical Chemistry being
presented with the same title as the original one is the result of joint efforts of Prof. M. Yousuf A. Mollah
and me. We traced the printing house which had been marketing the photocopies as 'fully revised edition'.
They apologized for their action and agreed to publish the edition we have prepared.
This is a Fulls' Revised Edition with major changes. While rewriting this hook we focused on the syllabti of
undergraduate courses on Physical Chemistry of Public. Private Universities and University Colleges in
Bangladesh. The students of Pharmacy. Biochemistry and Engineering will also be benefited from this
book. All through the book SI units have been used. Many chapters have been rewritten with additional
materials. A number of chapters have been divided into smaller chapters for the convenience of the
students: For example. Thermodynamics has been presented in three chapters with titles: Thermodynamics
I: the First Law, Thermochemistry, Thermodynamics H: the Second and the Third Law. The chapter on
Solution has been divided into Solution and Dilute Solution. Electrochemistry has been divided into two
chapters: Electrol y tic Conduction and Electrolysis, Electrochemical cells. The chapter on Reaction Kinetics
has been presented completely in a new format. Acids and Bases have been presented as a separate chapter.
Solubility and Solubility Product form a new chapter. As the material presented in the chapter on Surface
Chemistry and Colloids in the third edition is considerable, this has been split into two chapters: Surface
Chemistry and Colloidal State. In many chapters topics have been rewritten with the inclusion of new
materials and presented in a better way: Brief discussion of mass spectra. I.R and N.M.R. spectra and their
applications are included in the chapter on Physical Properties and Molecular Structure. End of Chapter
Questions and Problems have been revised, many new questions and problems with answers have been
incorporated. The format of the book has also been changed.
We hope that the Revised Edition of the book with its new look will receive the same acceptance by the
students and teachers as the earlier editions.
Printing of this book has been an arduous task. The publishers are not well acquainted with printing a book
on science with a lot of figures and formulae. They have, however, made great efforts to keep.the book free
of printing mistakes. We thank the publishers for their valiant efforts. In spite of their best intentions you
will find some errors. We hope to eliminate these in the future edition.

We are gratified to see that the first edition of the book has been well accepted by the students and teachers
in spite of the numerous printing errors. In the preparation of second edition attempt has been made to
increase the clarity of the presentation at several places. The number of numerical examples at the end of
the chapters has been considerably increased. Apart from these changes little has been altered in the
arrangement of the material and the get up. We have also tried hard to keep the printing errors at the
minimum.
We are indebted to many of our colleagues in the universities and colleges who have kindly sent their
criticisms and pointed out the shortcomings of the first edition. These have been of great help in making
improvement in the clarity of representation.
We are sorry, we could not make the book completely free of mistakes in spite of our best wishes.
Printing of an object by a hundred painters, or writing of a hundred poetry ()it same subject need no
explanation, but writing on a book on a subject like Physical Chemistry calls for an explanation specially
when excellent books in English are available. During the last many years of teaching Physical Chemistr)
to the undergraduate students, we have alwa ys felt the necessity of explaining the fundamental concepts.
We believe that once the basic principles have been understood by the students, more than half the battle is
won. In this respect, there is a need for a book on Physical Chemistry for our students whose background is
different from those for whom the available books are meant. Many of these hooks cover Fields wider and
deeper than what is needed for our undergraduates at the B. Sc. (Pass) level. We, therefore, felt the
necessit y of writing a book o n Physical Chemistry that would fully meet the requirements of the B. Sc.
(Pass) students and at the same time help in building a sound background for the Honours students. We
always tried, while writing the hook. to explain the basic principles as clearl y and elaborately as possible. It
is upto the teachers who teach the suhjc.t and the students who would read to judge whether our aims have
been fulfilled.
In the book most portions deal with the kinetic theory, thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. We have
used some final results and equations of Quantum Chemistry and did not go anywhere beyond it because
we thought that Quantum Chemistr y and Statistical Mechanics should be treated at a higher level. Although
the approach his been basically classical attempts have been made to acquaint the students with
thermodynamic approach. In many places both kinetic and thermodynamic treatment have been used to
show that identical results can be obtained. Only the methodology and physical concept are different.
Quantum mechanical approach has been kept to minimum, only flashes appear here and there.
In several places we have gone a little beyond than what is expected to form the syllabus of Pakistani
Universities. The idea is to point to the fact that improvements need he made as is constanil being done in
western countries. This is further meant to pros ide the mental food for the more serious and above average
students. The average students may leave out these portions on advanced treatment.
Contrary to common practice we have not included a chapter on atomic structure and radioactivity. These
two topics generally form a part of Inorganir Chemistry syllabus in our country and excellent treatment is
available in text books of Inorganic Chemisti-v. We therefore, thought it wise to leave out the branches from
the present volume. This has considerably reduced the size of the book.
We express our thanks to a number of our colleagues who always inspired us during the writing of the
book. Thanks are specially due to Prof. M. H. Khundkar, I-lead of the Department of Chemistry. University
of Dhaka. for his encouragement at various stages. Mr. A. J. Mahmood, Senior Lecturer in Chemistry.
University of Dhaka, deserves special thanks for kindly going thr'ough a large portion of the manuscript and
making valuable suggestions. Thanks are also due to Mr. A. N. M. Akhter, a student of the Dhaka College.
for drawing a number of original sketches and helping in making the design of the dust cover. We are
indebted to Mr. Mesbahul Haque for preparing the index. We must also thank Mr. Sycd Md. Faziul Huq of
the Students' Publications for taking the task of publishing the book. Mr. A. K. M. Raja Meah deserves
special mention for his untiring efforts and hard work in the printing of the book.
Good printing is a challenging task and in spite of our best efforts some mistakes are still there. We
apologise for this and hope to improve in the next edition. We shall appreciate receiving comments from
those who use the book, so that improvements can be made in future.
