✦ Synopsis

''For more than fifty years, this critically acclaimed and highly influential publication has been the textbook of choice in the field of chemical thermodynamics. This Seventh Edition not only brings the text thoroughly up to date with the latest developments and applications, it also offers new features that better enable students to master key concepts and apply them in practice.'' ''While thoroughly revised and updated, the text's fundamental objectives remain unchanged: to present the foundations and interrelationships of thermodynamics and to enable students to apply basic concepts in solving problems typically encountered by chemists, biologists, geologists, and materials scientists. Moreover, the text continues to maintain a logical unity throughout by focusing on the laws of classical thermodynamics and applications to gases, solutions, phase equilibria, and chemical equilibria.''--BOOK JACKET.
