Designed for use in inorganic, physical, and quantum chemistry courses, this textbook includes numerous questions and problems at the end of each... chapter and an Appendix with answers to most of the problems.

Uses the classical (phenomenological) approach to thermodynamics as opposed to the statistical. Applies theory to chemical, biological and geological... problems. Provides complete coverage of essential mathematical tools and computational techniques. This edition contains new chapters on thermodynamics of the electrochemical cell, Eh/pH diagrams, a revised chapter on estimation of thermodynamic properties plus treatment of the latest work in electrolyte solutions. Additional problems reflect new applications.

A new, millennium edition of the classic treatment of chemical thermodynamics Widely recognized for half a century for its first-rate, logical... introduction to phenomenological thermodynamics, this classic work is now thoroughly revised for the new millennium. The Sixth Edition continues to cover the fundamentals and methods of thermodynamics with exceptional vigor and clarity, while incorporating many new developments. Up-to-date examples are carefully gleaned from the literature for their practical interest to chemists, biochemists, geologists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists. Chemical Thermodynamics: Basic Theory and Methods, Sixth Edition provides readers with clear explanations of essential chemistry, mathematics, and the latest computational tools. Additional new features include:* Liberal reference to Web-based resources and databases* Extensive tables of thermodynamic data organized by source* High-quality exercises with a separate student manual available for solutions to alternate problems* Simple methods for the calculation of partial molar functions from experimental data* Expanded and revised chapters containing discussion of excess thermodynamic functions, a treatment of the Second Law and Equilibrium on the basis of the Planck function as well as the Gibbs function, and treatment of real gases in terms of the Redlich-Kwong equation

A completely updated, expanded edition of a longstanding and influential text on chemical thermodynamics Covers the logical foundations and... interrelationships of thermodynamics and their application to problems that are commonly encountered by the chemist. Explanations of abstract concepts in a clear and simple, yet still rigorous fashion Logical arrangement of the material to facilitate learning, including worked out examples. Computational techniques, graphical, numerical, and analytical, are described fully and are used frequently, both in illustrative and in assigned problems.

This book deals with the practical fundamentals and applications of conducting polymers. Written from a pedagogical point of view and at a very basic... level, it provides a thorough grounding in CPs ideal for further work, as a reference, or as a supplementary course text.

A comprehensive introduction, examining both macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the subject, the book applies the theory of thermodynamics to a... broad range of materials; from metals, ceramics and other inorganic materials to geological materials.Focusing on materials rather than the underlying mathematical concepts of the subject, this book will be ideal for the non-specialist requiring an introduction to the energetics and stability of materials. Macroscopic thermodynamic properties are linked to the underlying miscroscopic nature of the materials and trends in important properties are discussed.A unique approach covering both macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the subjectAuthors have worldwide reputations in this areaFills a gap in the market by featuring a wide range of real up-to-date examples and covering a large amount of materials
