A leading book for 80 years, Physical Chemistry 4e features exceptionally clear explanations of the concepts and methods of physical chemistry. The basic theory of chemistry is presented from the viewpoint of academic physical chemists, but the many applications of physical chemistry to practical are integrated throughout the book. The problems in the book are also a skillful blend of theory and practical applications. Special Feature Includes problems requiring Mathematica, which allows readers to compute and visualize simultaneously Expanded coverage of the uses of statistical mechanics, nuclear magnetic relaxation, nanoscience, and oscillating chemical reactions Increased emphasis on the thermodynamics and kinetics of biochemical reactions including the denaturation of proteins and nucleic acids Table of Contents Part I Thermodynamics Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics and Equations of State First Law of Thermodynamics Second and Third Laws of Thermodynamics Fundamental Equations of Thermodynamics Chemical Equilibrium Phase Equilibrium Electrochemical Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Biochemical Reactions Part II Quantum Chemistry Quantum Theory Atomic Structure Molecular Electronic Structure Symmetry Rotational and Vibrational Spectroscopy Electronic Spectroscopy of Molecules Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Statistical Mechanics Part III Kinetics Kinetic Theory of Gases Experimental Kinetics and Gas Reactions Chemical Dynamics and Photo-chemistry Kinetics in the Liquid Phase Part IV Macroscopic And Microscopic Structures Macromolecules Electric and Magnetic Properties of Molecules Solid State Chemistry Surface Dynamics Appendix A: Physical Quantities and Units Appendix B: Values of Physical Constants Appendix C: Tables of Physical Chemical Data Appendix D: Mathematical Relations Appendix E: Greek Alphabet Appendix F: Useful Information on the Web Appendix G: Symbols for Physical Quantities and Their SI Units Appendix H: Answers to the First Set of Problems Index
