Physical chemistry
Mortimer, Robert G.2nd ed. - San Diego : Harcourt/Academic Press, ©2000.This new edition of Robert G. Mortimer's Physical Chemistry has been thoroughly revised for use in a full year course in modern physical chemistry. In this edition, Mortimer has included recent developments in the theories of chemical reaction kinetics and molecular quantum mechanics, as well as in the experimental study of extremely rapid chemical reactions. While Mortimer has made substantial improvements in the selection and updating of topics, he has retained the clarity of presentation, the integration of description and theory, and the level of rigor that made the first edition so successful. * Emphasizes clarity; every aspect of the first edition has been examined and revised as needed to make the principles and applications of physical chemistry as clear as possible. * Proceeds from fundamental principles or postulates and shows how the consequences of these principles and postulates apply to the chemical and physical phenomena being studied. * Encourages the student not only to know the applications in physical chemistry but to understand where they come from. * Treats all topics relevant to undergraduate physical chemistry.This new edition of Robert G.

Physical chemistry
Silbey, Robert J.Fifth edition - Hoboken, NJ : John Wiley & Sons, Inc., [2021]"The objective of this book is to make the concepts and methods of physical chemistry clear and interesting to students who have had a year of calculus and a year of physics. The underlying theory of chemical phenomena is complicated, and so it is a challenge to make the most important concepts and methods understandable to undergraduate students. However, these basic ideas are accessible to students, and they will find them useful whether they are chemistry majors, biologists, engineers, or earth scientists. The basic theory of chemistry is presented from the viewpoint of academic physical chemists, but many applications of physical chemistry to practical problems are described. There are many significant changes in the fifth edition. These include the discussion of the differential scanning calorimetry, the kinetics of electron-transfer reactions, the optical spectroscopic characterization of biopolymer structure emphasizing on the application of UV-circular dichroism, vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and Raman optical activity (ROA) on the structure of selected peptides. In addition, the concepts of fluorescence resonance transfer, and the advantages of Fourier transform IR over the dispersive version are discussed extensively. The chapter on quantum mechanics is largely revised and the Caratheodory' s principle is discussed in the context of the second law of thermodynamics. At the end of each chapter there are Questions on Concepts and Ideas that will provide the opportunity for the student to emphasize on the physical meaning of the ideas and concepts discussed and understand in depth the material. Certain mathematical techniques are explained in the format of Mathematical Notes in selected chapters and they help students to review quickly concepts in mathematics involved beyond basic Calculus. One of the important objectives of a course in physical chemistry is to learn how to solve numerical problems, help emphasize concepts in the underlying theory, and illustrate practical applications. In order to achieve the above, the fifth edition include exercises and four types of problems: general problems that can be solved with a handheld calculator, numerical (graph) problems, theoretical problems and COMPUTER PROBLEMS that require a personal computer with a mathematical application installed. The answers to exercises are given in the back of the textbook, and worked-out solutions to these problems are given in the Solutions Manual for Physical Chemistry. The answers for the general problems are given in the Solutions Manual. The numerical methods (graph) problems can be solved more conveniently on a personal computer with a statistical software program, like Microsoft Excel, SigmaPlot, Origin etc. There are 170 COMPUTER PROBLEMS that require a personal computer with a mathematical application such as Mathematica, MathCad, MATLAB, or MAPLE installed. These mathematical applications make it possible to undertake problems that were previously too difficult or too time consuming. This is particularly true for two- and three-dimensional plots, integration and differentiation of complicated functions, and solving differential equations. The Solutions Manual for Physical Chemistry provides Mathematica programs and printouts for the COMPUTER PROBLEMS"--This is a Student Solutions Manual to accompany Physical Chemistry, 5th Edition. Ever since Physical Chemistry was first published in 1913, it has remained a highly effective and relevant learning tool thanks to the efforts of physical chemists from all over the world. Each new edition has benefited from their suggestions and expert advice. The result of this remarkable tradition is now in your hands.

Physical chemistry
Noggle, Joseph H., 1936-3rd ed. - New York : HarperCollins College Publishers, c1996.Physical Chemistry offers a comprehensive collection of physical principles and mathematical techniques for majors, non-majors, and chemical engineers. Lucidly written, logically organized, and widely used, it offers thorough, balanced coverage of thermodynamics, kinetics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. Recognizing the benefits of computer algebra software programs, the author has shifted his emphasis from formula derivation to numerical examples. Five appendices review the mathematics used in problem solving. Throughout the text students will find a greater number of real-world examples and problems than ever before..
