Description
This widely acclaimed textbook provides a clear and concise introduction to chemical thermodynamics. It presents an accessible account of the factors that determine equilibrium in chemical systems, starting with an examination of equilibrium in everyday mechanical objects.
Through its straightforward approach, students are led to a thorough understanding of the basic principles of thermodynamics, which are then applied to a wide range of physical chemical systems. The book also discusses key topics such as non-ideal solutions and the concept of activity, providing an introduction to the molecular basis of thermodynamics.
With its emphasis on clarity and simplicity, this popular textbook has been widely adopted in courses on thermodynamics. Its sixth edition includes updated reference to the phase rule and revised notation conforming to current IUPAC recommendations, making it a reliable resource for students taking courses in thermodynamics.
