Physical chemistry; Thermochemistry & chemical thermodynamics

Matter and Molecules: A Broader and Deeper View of Chemical Thermodynamics provides students with an interdisciplinary exploration of physical chemistry. Students learn critical concepts of physical chemistry with special emphasis on application to other areas of science. Instead of presenting a narrow, specialized view of physical and biological phenomena, the text provides a broader, global view, highlighting the problems and scenarios that must be faced and understood by chemists, biochemists, physicists, geologists, pharmacists, engineers, and others.

Over the course of 11 chapters, students learn about the fundamentals of thermodynamics; molecules, statistics, and matter; partial molar properties and phase transitions; and gaseous mixtures. They read about mixtures in condensed phases and their equilibrium with vapor, solutions, surface phenomena, and chemical equilibrium. The text closes with chapters dedicated to processes with charge transfer, non-equilibrium processes, and future developments anticipated within the discipline. Worked examples are included throughout to demonstrate the application of the material presented.

Matter and Molecules helps students connect the dots between key concepts in physical chemistry and their use in real-world settings. The text is an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in physical chemistry.
