Physical Chemistry A practical approach

Physical Chemistry A practical approach

This textbook takes a practical approach to physical chemistry by providing an application of the fundamental principles in real settings. The first topics in this textbook include the first and second laws of thermodynamics, Gibbs free energy, phase equilibria, chemical equilibrium, electrochemical principles, quantum chemistry, and statistical mechanics. It dwells on three-dimensional systems and the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in which quite complex chemical dynamics can be explained in further detail. It is especially for advanced learners and helps them achieve theoretical knowledge as well as practical insights into the behavior of chemical systems and their interactions in various environments.

Physical Chemistry By Uttarakhand Open University

This is a very broad textbook since it focuses on teaching various topics in physical chemistry, including chemical thermodynamics and equilibrium. It goes through the concepts involved in entropy, phase equilibrium, ionic equilibrium, and surface chemistry. These all help towards setting a good basis for physical principles that drive chemical reaction. The book also covers electrochemistry with a very detailed look at electrochemical processes and their applications. The text can also be considered a master resource for undergraduates and graduate students studying chemistry. It has clearly explained the fundamental ideas of physical chemistry.
