Chemistry in Non-Aqueous Solvents

Arising no doubt from its pre-eminence as a natural liquid, water has always been considered by chemists as the original solvent in which very varied chemical reactions can take place, both for preparational and for analytical purposes. This explains the very long-standing interest shown in the study of aqueous solutions. In this con­ nection, it must be stressed that the theory of Arrhenius and O...
