Kurzbeschreibung
This textbook introduces chemistry and chemical engineering students to molecular descriptions of thermodynamics, chemical systems, and biomolecules. It focuses on topics such as adsorption, mixture, and chemical equilibria, which are integral to their grasping of the subject. It teaches readers how to apply the tools of statistical mechanics to different thermodynamic systems and provides chapter-end practice problems to aide in their understanding.

This textbook introduces chemistry and chemical engineering students to molecular descriptions of thermodynamics, chemical systems, and biomolecules.
* Equips students with the ability to apply the method to their own systems, as today's research is microscopic and molecular and articles are written in that language
* Provides ample illustrations and tables to describe rather difficult concepts
* Makes use of plots (charts) to help students understand the mathematics necessary for the contents
* Includes practice problems and answers
