Evolved from McQuarrie and Simon's best-selling
textbook, Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, this
text focuses in on the thermodynamics portion of the course. Although many of the chapters in Molecular
Thermodynamics are similar to chapters in the larger physical chemistry text, new material has been added throughout
along with three entirely new chapters on "The Energy Levels of Atoms and
Molecules," "Thermodynamics of Electrochemical Cells," and
"Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics." The text also includes five
short "MathChapters," each with a special set of
problems that will help students review and summarize the
mathematical tools required to master the material. Worked
examples and chapter-ending problems with solutions are also
included throughout the book.
