Summary
The major change in this edition is the addition of a new chapter which provides a simple treatment of the molecular bais of thermodynamics. Numerical examples have been added, but overall emphasis is again placed on a clear explanation of the underlying concepts of thermodynamics: the traditional approaches to the subject are modified so that the reader is led from an examination of equilibrium in the everyday world of mechanical objects to a thorough understanding of the factors that determine equilibrium in chemical systems. The results are applied to a wide range of physicochemical problems. The book also gives a brief introduction to the difficult problems of non-ideal solutions and the concept of activity.
