A Modern Approach To Physical Chemistry

The discipline that deals with the study of atomic, subatomic and macroscopic phenomena in chemical systems related to the concepts, practices and principles of physics is known as physical chemistry. A few of the major branches that fall under physical chemistry include chemical kinetics, thermochemistry, materials science, physical organic chemistry and biophysical chemistry. It is concerned with resolving the effects of intermolecular forces that act on the physical properties of materials. It also focuses on the effects of reaction kinetics on the rate of reaction, surface science and electrochemistry of the cell membranes. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on physical chemistry have been included in this book. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.

This book has been compiled by different authors with one aim, which is to provide theoretical, practical and conceptual knowledge of physical chemistry. This book contains chapters that will explore physical chemistry in a different light. Concepts are discussed using experimental demonstrations in theoretical form. All the chapters have been thoroughly reviewed. The book elucidates the concepts of physical chemistry related to both inorganic and organic compounds. This book aims to be a resourceful guide for both basic and advanced concepts in physical chemistry.

In this new textbook on physical chemistry, fundamentals are introduced simply yet in more depth than is common. Topics are arranged in a progressive pattern, with simpler theory early and more complicated theory later. General principles are induced from key experimental results. Some mathematical background is supplied where it would be helpful. Each chapter includes worked-out examples and numerous references. Extensive problems, review, and discussion questions are included for each chapter. More detail than is common is devoted to the nature of work and heat and how they differ. Introductory Caratheodory theory and the standard integrating factor for dGrev are carefully developed. The fundamental role played by uncertainty and symmetry in quantum mechanics is emphasized. In chemical kinetics, various methods for determined rate laws are presented. The key mechanisms are detailed. Considerable statistical mechanics and reaction rate theory are then surveyed. Professor Duffey has given us a most readable, easily followed text in physical chemistry.

This new volume presents an up-to-date review of modern materials and physical chemistry concepts, issues, and recent advances in the field. It presents a modern theoretical and experimental approach in applied physical chemistry. The volume discusses the developments of advanced chemical products and respective tools to characterize and predict the chemical material properties and behavior. With chapters from distinguished scientists and engineers from key institutions worldwide, the volume provides understanding through numerous examples and practical applications drawn from research and development chemistry. It emphasizes the intersection of chemistry, math, physics, and the resulting applications across many disciplines of science and explores applied physical chemistry principles in specific areas. At the same time, each topic is framed within the context of a broader more interdisciplinary approach, demonstrating its relationship and interconnectedness to other areas. This new book fills a gap within modeling texts, focusing on applications across a broad range of disciplines, and presents information on many important problems in physical chemistry. These investigations are accompanied by real-life applications in practice.

This volume brings together innovative research, new concepts, and novel developments in the application of new tools for chemical engineers. It presents significant research, reporting on new methodologies and important applications in the field of chemical engineering. Highlighting theoretical foundations, real-world cases, and future directions, this book covers selected topics in a variety of areas, including: chemoinformatics and computational chemistry advanced dielectric materials nanotechniques polymer composites It also presents several advanced case studies. The topics discussed in this volume will be valuable for researchers, practitioners, professionals, and students of chemistry material and chemical engineering.
