Chemical Thermodynamics and Statistical Aspects: Questions to Ask in Fundamentals and Principles covers a full range of topics in macroscopic and statistical thermodynamics. Every step in the book is compiled with sharp and precise attention to detail. Derivations cover fundamental relationships and reinforce and extend the knowledge gained form an earlier exposure to thermodynamics. The book is filled with all kinds of physics processes, a variety of quantum mechanics, and calculus problems involving timely mathematical functions. Special emphases is given to fundamental concepts and their chemical interpretations, which are essential to understanding molecular formation and reaction mechanism.
This book will be a useful reference source for undergraduates and postgraduates taking courses in chemistry, students in chemical engineering, and those in the materials sciences. It will also be of value to research workers who would like an introduction to the essential principles of physical chemistry.
