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.
Such a
textbook projects an in-depth exploration of basic principles of physical
chemistry, with special emphasis on thermodynamics. Its content details basics
and advanced materials in topics that range from basic thermodynamics to the
thermodynamics of systems and mixtures, and even discusses advanced chemical
thermodynamics in detailed detail for the knowledge development of a student who
would want to understand a more complex system. It is ensured throughout the
book that to obtain clarity and explain it, there must be a systematic approach
in how thermodynamic principles apply to chemical reactions and equilibria. This
book is suitable for the students who have thirst to gain deeper insights into
the aspects of thermodynamics applied in physical chemistry.
It's
a one-of-a-kind textbook that delves into key topics in physical chemistry with
a concise yet comprehensive approach. It includes composition and physical
states of matter, colligative properties, and fundamental concepts in
thermodynamics. Important topics such as refractive index, solutions, and ionic
equilibrium are explained clearly, giving a clear view of the chemical behavior
in different phases. The book also encompasses electrochemistry that tosses
further light upon the governing principles of electrochemical process. This is
a book designed for students who would need an intense yet accessible
introduction to the underlying principles of physical chemistry.
