Book Synopsis

The first two editions of Concise Chemical Thermodynamics proved to be a very popular introduction to a subject many undergraduate students perceive to be difficult due to the underlying mathematics. With its concise explanations and clear examples, the text has for the past 40 years clarified for countless students one of the most complicated branches of science. Following in the tradition of its predecessors, this Third Edition continues to offer a practical, example-based exploration of a critical topic, maintaining academic rigor but eschewing complicated calculations.

Updated to reflect new concerns in the 21st century, this edition now includes:

  • An extensive outlook on the world's current energy consumption and the role of renewable energy in the future
  • An example of an exothermic reaction through a discussion of the Mond process for extracting and purifying nickel
  • The use of Mathcad

    Table of Contents

    Energy. The First Law of Thermodynamics. Thermochemistry. Spontaneous Changes. Entropy. Free Energy: The Arbiter. Chemical Equilibrium. Equilibrium Experiments and Their Interpretation. Electrochemical Cells. Free Energy and Industrial Processes. Computational Thermochechemistry. Appendices. Answers. Suggested Further Reading. Index.
