Chemical Thermodynamics: An Introduction
This course-derived undergraduate textbook provides a concise explanation of the key concepts and calculations of chemical thermodynamics. Instead of the usual ‘classical’ introduction, this text adopts a straightforward postulatory approach that introduces thermodynamic potentials such as entropy and energy more directly and transparently.

Structured around several features to assist students’ understanding, Chemical Thermodynamics :



• Develops applications and methods for the ready treatment of equilibria on a sound quantitative basis.
• Requires minimal background in calculus to understand the text and presents formal derivations to the student in a detailed but understandable way.
• Offers end-of-chapter problems (and answers) for self-testing and review and reinforcement, of use for self- or group study.

This book is suitable as essential reading for courses in a bachelor and master chemistry program and is also valuable as a reference or textbook for students of physics, biochemistry and materials science.

About the Author

Ernö Keszei is professor of physical chemistry at the Eötvös University in Budapest, Hungary. He received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry also in Budapest in 1978 and has worked on numerous research projects and also as a visiting scientist in Canada and Moscow. In addition to his active research, Ernö Keszei has been teaching undergraduates physical chemistry since 1975.

He is the author of over 60 papers in scientific journals and has major contributions in three books. Chemical Thermodynamics: An Introduction is based on his lectures held since 1991.
