Thermodynamics and Chemistry

---

Classical thermodynamics, the subject of this book, is concerned with macroscopic aspects of the
interaction of matter with energy in its various forms. This book is designed as a text for a onesemester
course for senior undergraduate or graduate students who have already been introduced to
thermodynamics in an undergraduate physical chemistry course.

Anyone who studies and uses thermodynamics knows that a deep understanding of this subject
does not come easily. There are subtleties and interconnections that are difficult to grasp at first. The
more times one goes through a thermodynamics course (as a student or a teacher), the more insight
one gains. Thus, this text will reinforce and extend the knowledge gained from an earlier exposure
to thermodynamics. To this end, there is fairly intense discussion of some basic topics, such as the
nature of spontaneous and reversible processes, and inclusion of a number of advanced topics, such
as the reduction of bomb calorimetry measurements to standard-state conditions.

This book makes no claim to be an exhaustive treatment of thermodynamics. It concentrates
on derivations of fundamental relations starting with the thermodynamic laws and on applications
of these relations in various areas of interest to chemists. Although classical thermodynamics treats
matter from a purely macroscopic viewpoint, the book discusses connections with molecular properties
when appropriate.

In deriving equations, I have strived for rigor, clarity, and a minimum of mathematical complexity.
I have attempted to clearly state the conditions under which each theoretical relation is valid
because only by understanding the assumptions and limitations of a derivation can one know when
to use the relation and how to adapt it for special purposes. I have taken care to be consistent in the
use of symbols for physical properties. The choice of symbols follows the current recommendations
of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) with a few exceptions made to
avoid ambiguity.
