This text provides an introduction to chemical thermodynamics, which is perceived by many to be a difficult topic. However, this volume presents the subject with practical chemical examples using little mathematics. It includes discussions of experimental equilibrium data, an introduction to electrochemistry, a brief survey of Ellingham diagrams, and a treatment of entropy without reference to the Carnot cycle. In addition, a new chapter on computer-based methodsin thermodynamics has been added, thermodynamic data has been revised to ensure that the symbols and units reflect the latest IUPAC rules, and problems andexamples have been updated to reflect current understanding and concerns.
