This widely acclaimed text, now in its fifth edition and translated
into many languages, continues to present a clear, simple and
concise introduction to chemical thermodynamics. An examination of
equilibrium in the everyday world of mechanical objects provides
the starting point for an accessible account of the factors that
determine equilibrium in chemical systems. This straightforward
approach leads students to a thorough understanding of the basic
principles of thermodynamics, which are then applied to a wide
range of physico-chemical systems. The book also discusses the
problems of non-ideal solutions and the concept of activity, and
provides an introduction to the molecular basis of thermodynamics.
Over five editions, the views of teachers of the subject and their
students have been incorporated. The result is a little more rigour
in specifying the dimensions within logarithmic expressions, the
addition of more worked examples and the inclusion of a simple
treatment of the molecular basis of thermodynamics. Students on
courses in thermodynamics will continue to find this popular book
an excellent introductory text.
