This
textbook is all-inclusive to both general and physical chemistry. It begins with
the particulate nature of matter and progresses through critical issues such as
atomic structure, chemical bonding, and behavior of gases. The text
substantially covers chemical thermodynamics and its applications in
equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, and redox reactions, which provides the
theoretical tools for understanding chemical systems. The book also covers phase
equilibria, transport properties of electrolytic solutions, the principles of
thermochemistry and chromatography; hence, it is a must-read for any student at
an advanced level pursuing chemistry.

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.
