World Scientific Publishing, 2011, 143 pages
This book is designed for a one-semester course, for undergraduates, not necessarily chemistry majors, who need to know something about physical chemistry. The emphasis is not on mathematical rigor, but subtleties and conceptual difficulties are not hidden. It covers the essential topics in physical chemistry, including the state of matter, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, phase and chemical equilibria, introduction to quantum theory, and molecular spectroscopy.
State of Matter. Properties of Gases
The First Law of Thermodynamics
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
The Third Law of Thermodynamics
The Free Energy Functions
Phase and Chemical Equilibria
Chemical Kinetics
Introduction to Quantum Theory
Applications of Quantum Theory
Quantum Theory. The Chemical Bond
Elements of Molecular Spectroscopy
Elements of Intermolecular Forces
Homework Problem Sets
