 PREFACE

Praise and gratitude for the blessings and grace that i still given the
opportunity to complete this Critical Book Report . This Critical Book Report
i made to complete the tasks of the General Chemistry courses. Hopefully this
Critical Book Report can add insight and knowledge for the readers.

In writing this Critical Book Report, i certainly can’t solve it without

the help of others. Therefore, i would like to thank:

1. My parents that always pray for me

2. To the advisory lecturer, Freddy Tua Musa Panggabean,S.Pd,M.Pd

Due to our limited knowledge and experience, i believe there are still many
shortcomings in this paper, therefore i am looking forward to constructive
suggestions and criticism from readers for the perfection of this paper.

 CHAPTER I: PRELIMINARY

A. BACKGROUND
The book review report is not a report that aims to find out the
contents of the book, but focuses more on our evaluation (explanation,
interpretation, and analysis) of the advantages and disadvantages of
the book, what is interesting about the book and how the content of
the book can affect our thinking and increase our understanding of a
particular field of study. So that the book review report is a process
carried out to find the strengths and weaknesses of the book.
Therefore, the State University of Medan is applying the
KKNI curriculum which requires students to think critically. One of
the things to do in this curriculum is Critical book.

B. PROBLEM FORMULATION
Based on an explanation from the background, the author limits the
material that we will criticize, including:
1. What and how to fill in each structure?
2. What is the essence or summary of each book chapter?
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of books?

C. PURPOSE
The Critical Report Book aims to:
1) Knowing the weaknesses and excess of a book
2) Exercise more critical and analytical thinking

D. BENEFITS
1) to add insight on measuring instruments in physics
2) Help to understand about Direct current pointing instrument
3) Finding and knowing the information contained in the book

2. SUMMERY OF BOOK
Book 1
Introduction

Much of the world around us is composed ofsolutions. Air, oceans,

steel, gasoline,and soda pop are just a few examples of common
substances that exist as solutions.

The Solution Process

Why is it that some substances readily mix to form solutions while
others do not? Whether one substance dissolves in another substance
is largely dependent on the inter-molecular forces present in the
substances.For a solution to form, the solute particles must become
dispersed throughout the sol-vent. This process requires the solute and
solvent to initially separate and then mix.Another way of thinking of
this is that the solute particles must separate from each other and
disperse throughout the solvent.The solvent may separate to make
room for the solute particles or the solute particles may occupy the
space between the solvent particles.

Concentration of Solutions
The amount of solute and solvent in a solution can be quantitatively
expressed using numerous concentration units. The choice of a
particular concentration unit depends largely on practice and
convenience.

5
We have probably all made solutions usingrecipes or directions that
tell us to add somuch water to a substance. In the field ofchemistry,
the most common concentrationunits are molarity, molality, percent
by mass,and “parts per.” Each of these is defined here:
Molarity is the moles of solute per liter of solu-tion. It is
abbreviated with a large “M.” A 1 M solution contains 1 mole of the
substance dis-solved in 1 liter of solution. It is important to realize
molarity is the amount of solute per literof solution. If a 1 M solution
of sodium hydrox-ide were to be prepared, 40 grams of NaOH would
be diluted to 1 liter. Special flasks of var-ious volumes are made for
just this purpose.Adding 1 liter of water to 40 grams would not
produce a 1 M solution, but a solution of slight lyless than 1 M because
adding 1liter of water to 40 grams of NaOH makes the final volume
of the solution greater than 1 liter.

Reactions of Solutions
Most reactions in chemistry involve solutions. Reactions between
solutions con-tinually take place in the atmosphere, ocean, and natural
environment.
To understand how a precipitation reac-tion works, let’s
examine the reaction be-tween two aqueous ionic solutions,
silvernitrate (AgNO3) and potassium chloride(KCl).Molecular
equation:

KCl(aq)+AgNO3(aq) AgCl(s)\+KNO3(aq)

Book 2
Solution Composition
Because a mixture, unlike a chemical compound, has a variable
composition, the relative amounts of substances in a solution must be
specified.

Entalphy solution
The enthalpy change accompanying solution formation .
Can be partitioned into
• The energy required to overcome the solute–solute interactions
• The energy required to “make holes” in the solvent
• The energy associated with solute–solvent interactions

6
Factors That affect solubility
 Polarity of solute and solvent
“Like dissolves like” is a useful generalization
 Temperature effects
• Increased temperature decreases the solubility of a gas in
water
• Most solids are more soluble at higher temperatures but
important exceptions exist

Colligative properties
• Osmosis occurs when a solution and pure solvent are separated by a
semipermeable membrane that allows solvent molecules to pass but
not solute particles
• Reverse osmosis occurs when the applied pressure is greater than the
osmotic pressure of the solution
Because colligative properties depend on the number of
particles, solutes that break into several ions when they dissolve have
an effect proportional to the number of ions produced

Colloids
A suspension of tiny particles stabilized by electrostatic repulsion
among the ion layers surrounding the individual particles .Can be
coagulated (destroyed) by heating or adding an electrolyte.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

A.Advantages

Book 1

 Discuss the solution completely

 The sentences easy to understand
 There are tables that help readers understand better

Book 2

 The material is concise but still complete,

 This book is also equipped with questions and discussion,
there is a summary so we can remember the material
 The book is fullcolour.

B.Disadvantages

Book 1
 In terms of writing, the writing in this book is relatively small,
so it must be smart to read
 This book is colorless so it is less interesting to read because
this book is dominated by neutral colors namely gray and
black white so the reader gets bored easily because the book is
colorless
 In the book there is no interesting complementary drawing.

Book 2
 The thickness of the yard makes this book a little heavy when
it has to be carried around. This may also be due to the
inappropriate selection of paper.
 The sentences hard to understand

 CHAPTER 4: COVER

A. Conclusions

Book of Basic chemistry of Myers Richard and book of

Chemistry by Steven S. Zumdahl and Susan A.Zumdahl work which
are very complete and it are recommended to be a learning guide for
the course of Solution in general chemistry . In both book the solution
material in chapter 11.
The both book is very good with explanations in every clear
material and effective use of sentences. That book is highly
recommended to be a handbook for the General chemistry course.

B.Suggestions

In our opinion, the suggestion for this book is to reprint and to

be the latest volume, it is necessary. Supported by the fact that this
book is very hard to find. As well as re-binding aims to update
examples of problems and problems that exist for more updates.
