Selected problems in physical chemistry

Cover of Selected problems in physical chemistry

Paul Yates reviews this textbook, aiming to go beyond the maths

This book starts from the premise that existing physical chemistry textbooks have a limited readership due to being written for those students who have "an interest in and aptitude for mathematics". The author seeks to redress this balance by providing detailed solutions to a number of problems which go rather beyond providing just a mathematical solution.

There are around fifty such problems, grouped into the broad areas of mechanics, basic thermodynamics, mixtures and chemical thermodynamics, ionic properties and electrochemistry, kinetics, and the structure of matter: molecular spectroscopy. The topics are not covered evenly, so there is variation in the number of problems per topic.
