Product Description
This widely acclaimed text, now in its fourth edition, continues to provide a clear, simple, and concise introduction to chemical thermodynamics. An examination of equilibrium in the everyday world of mechanical objects provides the starting point for an accessible account of the factors that determine equilibrium in chemical systems. This straightforward approach leads students to a thorough understanding of the underlying principles of thermodynamics, which are then applied to a
wide range of physicochemical systems. The book also discusses the problems of non-ideal solutions and the concept of activity, and provides an introduction to the molecular basis of thermodynamics.
The book has been carefully revised for this new edition, with illustrations and text clearly presented in a new, larger format. The author has taken the opportunity to update dimensions and include new problems and worked examples. Students on courses in thermodynamics will continue to find this popular book a clear and understandable introduction to this important subject.
