Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics provides undergraduate
chemistry students with a grounding in both classical and
statistical thermodynamics. Thermodynamic quantities and
relationships are introduced and developed in a coherent way,
enabling students to apply thermodynamic analysis to chemical
problems with confidence. Each stage in the development is well
illustrated with examples. The text aims to help students
understand energy, its different forms and transformations, and the
key role of entropy, as applied to chemical systems, addressing
questions such as: (i) How much work is performed, and how much
heat transfer occurs, during chemical processes and reactions, and
how do they depend on temperature? (ii) How is it possible for
endothermic processes to occur spontaneously, and will a given
reaction occur spontaneously? (iii) What determines the equilibrium
between phases? (iv) How do temperature and pressure affect
equilibrium? (v) What is the meaning of entropy? (vi) How are
macroscopic thermodynamic properties related to microscopic energy
levels? Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students,
Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of short,
single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental
areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each
book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying
a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and
including worked examples.
