Basic Chemical Thermodynamics (Oxford Chemistry Series)
By E. Brian Smith.
Description
This text, now in its fourth edition, continues to provide a concise introduction to chemical thermodynamics. An examination of equilibrium in the everyday world of mechanical objects provides the starting point for an account of the factors that determine equilibrium in chemical systems. This approach leads students to an 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...
