Features: This book is one of the "Series of Mainstream Chemistry Courses Textbooks for Hunan University." Supported by a strong foundation in science and engineering, this series breaks the traditional separation of science and engineering in basic chemistry teaching, achieving integration of the two disciplines. The integrated textbook system leads with physical chemistry, establishing the chemical and chemical engineering "building" on a solid theoretical foundation, forming a new framework. The second edition of this book has been revised and expanded based on years of teaching practice, enhancing its general applicability and logical coherence. The book consists of 12 chapters, covering fundamental quantities in chemistry, gases, an introduction to thermodynamics, the laws of thermodynamics and their applications, the second law of thermodynamics, the properties and mixing properties of components in multicomponent systems, phase equilibrium, chemical equilibrium, the electrical migration properties of electrolyte ions, basic knowledge and applications of electrochemistry, fundamentals of chemical kinetics, surface phenomena and dispersed systems, and an introduction to statistical thermodynamics. Each chapter includes a content summary, a conclusion, and exercises, as well as selected interesting reading materials to maximize readers' learning interest and efficiency. This book can serve as a textbook for chemistry, applied chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, biology, environmental, and related disciplines in higher technical and normal universities, as well as for reference by relevant technical personnel and self-learners.
