Chemistry of Solutions - André Fernando de Oliveira

This book presents a modern new approach to studying chemical equilibria in aqueous solutions, offering a conceptually coherent and mathematically straightforward framework that simplifies complex topics such as Brønsted acid-base equilibria, solubility, and complexation, with a strong emphasis on real-world applications. Designed to suit various academic levels—from introductory biology to advanced chemistry—it is grounded in the Triad of Solution: matter balance, charge balance, and the law of mass action. The second part of the book explores advanced topics including recursive numerical methods, buffer capacity, solubility excess parameters, and pH calculations. Throughout, readers find numerous exercises and detailed solutions to reinforce understanding and support practical learning.
