Description:

A completely updated, expanded edition of a longstanding and influential text on chemical thermodynamics, this text presents the logical foundations and interrelationships of thermodynamics and its applications to practical problems. It is restricted to classical thermodynamics, thus maintaining a logical unity throughout the book. It covers the laws of thermodynamics and their application to gases, solutions, phase equilibria, and chemical equilibria.
