Basic Chemical Thermodynamics by Eric Brian Smith

Basic Chemical Thermodynamics by Eric Brian Smith

The fourth edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a concise and easy-to-understand introduction to chemical thermodynamics. Beginning with an examination of equilibrium in familiar mechanical objects, the book gives a straightforward account of the factors that determine equilibrium in chemical systems. The underlying principles of thermodynamics are discussed, then applied to a wide range of physicochemical systems. The problems of non-ideal solutions and the concept of activity are covered, and the text offers a useful introduction to the molecular basis of thermodynamics. This new edition is fully illustrated, and features a clearer text design and larger format. Many new sample problems and worked examples are included. Students in thermodynamics will continue to find this popular book a clear introduction to an important subject.

Smith, E. Brian: - Sir Brian Smith received his first degree and his doctorate at Liverpool University. After two years at UC Berkeley, he was appointed Lecturer in Physical Chemistry and Fellow of St Catherine's College, Oxford. Later, he was elected Master of the College. He subsequently became Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University. His research interests include intermolecular forces and the biological effects of simple gases.
