Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics,

Engel and Reid's Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, & Kinetics gives students a contemporary and accurate overview of physical chemistry while focusing on basic principles that unite the sub-disciplines of the field. The Third Edition continues to emphasize fundamental concepts and presents cutting-edge research developments that demonstrate the vibrancy of physical chemistry today. MasteringChemistry(R) for Physical Chemistry - a comprehensive online homework and tutorial system specific to Physical Chemistry - is available for the first time with Engel and Reid to reinforce students' understanding of complex theory and to build problem-solving skills throughout the course.1 Fundamental Concepts of Thermodynamics 2 Heat, Work, Internal Energy, Enthalpy, and the First Law of Thermodynamics 3 The Importance of State Functions: Internal Energy and Enthalpy 4 Thermochemistry 5 Entropy and the Second and Third Laws of Thermodynamics 6 Chemical Equilibrium 7 The Properties of Real Gases 8 Phase Diagrams and the Relative Stability of Solids, Liquids, and Gases 9 Ideal and Real Solutions 10 Electrolyte Solutions 11 Electrochemical Cells, Batteries, and Fuel Cells 12 Probability 13 The Boltzmann Distribution 14 Ensemble and Molecular Partition Functions 15 Statistical Thermodynamics 16 Kinetic Theory of Gases 17 Transport Phenomena 18 Elementary Chemical Kinetics
