Physical Chemistry, a Guided Inquiry


Book Description

These ChemActivities provide a guided-inquiry approach to physical chemistry and may be used in a group setting. The Activities emphasize learning to thinjk like a scientist rather than simply memorizing important conclusions arrived at by great scientists of the past. Using this approach you will learn how physical chemists analyze problems and how physical chemistry relates to our understanding of everyday processes. You will also develop skills to use beyond the chemistry classroom including how to use scientific reasoning to draw your own valid conclusions when faced the novel situations and how to communicate your understanding. In any field, logical thinking and effective communication are as important as content knowledge. By following through with the critical thinking analysis used in these Activities you will learn how to do both. --




Physical Chemistry: Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, and Kinetics, Global Edition


Book Description

For courses in Thermodynamics. Engel and Reid’s Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, and Kinetics provides a contemporary, conceptual, and visual introduction to physical chemistry. The authors emphasize the vibrancy of physical chemistry today and illustrate its relevance to the world around us using modern applications drawn from biology, environmental science, and material science. The 4th Edition provides visual summaries of important concepts and connections in each chapter, offers students “just in time” math help, and expands content to cover science relevant to physical chemistry.




Physical Chemistry


Book Description

In the phase transitions among the solid, liquid, and gaseous forms of water, we see a profound demonstration of how properties at the molecular scale dictate the behavior of the bulk material. As ice is heated beyond its melting point, new avenues for molecular motion become open to the energy being added. Upon entering the gas phase, the water molecules can explore new territory, unavailable to the liquid or solid. These transformations can be seen as a shifting balance between the forces that bind the molecules and the thermal energy that excites these motions--a window through thermodynamics on the intricate mechanisms that drive chemistry.

A Conceptual Guide to Thermodynamics


Book Description

Thermodynamics is the science that describes the behavior of matter at the macroscopic scale, and how this arises from individual molecules. As such, it is a subject of profound practical and fundamental importance to many science and engineering fields. Despite extremely varied applications ranging from nanomotors to cosmology, the core concepts of thermodynamics such as equilibrium and entropy are the same across all disciplines. A Conceptual Guide to Thermodynamics serves as a concise, conceptual and practical supplement to the major thermodynamics textbooks used in various fields. Presenting clear explanations of the core concepts, the book aims to improve fundamental understanding of the material, as well as homework and exam performance. Distinctive features include: Terminology and Notation Key: A universal translator that addresses the myriad of conventions, terminologies, and notations found across the major thermodynamics texts. Content Maps: Specific references to each major thermodynamic text by section and page number for each new concept that is introduced. Helpful Hints and Don’t Try Its: Numerous useful tips for solving problems, as well as warnings of common student pitfalls. Unique Explanations: Conceptually clear, mathematically fairly simple, yet also sufficiently precise and rigorous. A more extensive set of reference materials, including older and newer editions of the major textbooks, as well as a number of less commonly used titles, is available online at http://www.conceptualthermo.com. Undergraduate and graduate students of chemistry, physics, engineering, geosciences and biological sciences will benefit from this book, as will students preparing for graduate school entrance exams and MCATs.
