Description

Physical chemistry provides essential knowledge for biochemists and biologists. This textbook uses worked examples and problems to illustrate its key concepts. The book introduces the laws of thermodynamics, which are then used to derive equations relevant to chemical equilibria, solution properties, acids and bases, and oxidation-reduction processes. By understanding thermodynamic principles, students can predict whether a reaction will occur and how it will proceed. The study of reaction rates is also covered, exploring factors such as temperature, pH, ionic strength, and reactant nature that affect reaction speed. This knowledge is particularly useful in the context of enzyme-catalysed reactions.
