The fundamental aspects of classical thermodynamics are presented in a simple compact way. The equations derived are illustrated by numerous (111) examples, often direct application of the relations just obtained. The (four) laws of thermodynamics are presented and illustrated. The need to define thermodynamic temperature, the meaning of auxiliary thermodynamic functions, the origin, usefulness and use of partial molar quantities are all examined. Gaseous systems, phase equilibria and chemical reactions are quantitatively treated. It is shown how chemical reactions can provide work. Ideal and...

This second volume of a two-volume set develops the tools necessary to study and understand systems in which chemical reactions can take place, and establishes criteria for chemical equilibrium. For complex systems, the number of independent reactions and their nature are determined systematically; the effect of external factors on chemical equilibria is analyzed and illustrated; the formalism necessary to study ideal and real solutions is provided; and various standard states in use and the corresponding activity coefficients are defined. The volume includes problems and solutions.

This is volume 1 of a two-volume set. A primarily phenomenological approach was selected to keep chemical thermodynamics accessible to beginners. Coverage encompasses the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics, for students in chemistry, chemical engineering, and material sciences. Most of the specific mathematical tools are presented directly in the text; problems and solutions are provided.

Notre presentation classique de la thermodynamique, avec quelques illustrations de l'aspect statistique, ne requiert que peu de connaissances mathematiques. L'existence et la definition de la temperature thermodynamique permettent de definir l'entropie d'un systeme, de montrer qu'elle est une fonction d'etat, puis, d'enoncer le deuxieme principe de la thermodynamique. Les diverses fonctions thermodynamiques s'imposent naturellement avec leurs significations. On decouvre que les proprietes extensives des systemes reels peuvent etre obtenues a l'aide des grandeurs molaires partielles dont fait...
