Features: This book is based on the fourth edition of Physical Chemistry and has been appropriately adjusted and supplemented in accordance with the recently published basic teaching requirements for chemistry and applied chemistry programs by the Ministry of Education. The book focuses on explaining the fundamental concepts and theories of physical chemistry while also introducing some cutting-edge content related to the development trends of the discipline to cater to the needs of different readers. Each chapter includes extended reading materials and reference lists, making the textbook more concise while broadening its depth and scope. To help readers consolidate their knowledge and improve their problem-solving skills, as well as facilitate self-study, the book incorporates numerous examples. At the end of each chapter, there are discussion questions and exercises, and the answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. The book adopts the "Legal Metrology Units of the People's Republic of China" based on the International System of Units (SI) and the symbols specified in the national standards (GB3100-3102-93). The book is published in two volumes, totaling 14 chapters. The content includes: Gases, Thermodynamic Laws, The Second Law of Thermodynamics, Thermodynamics of Multicomponent Systems, Chemical Equilibrium, Phase Equilibrium, and Fundamentals of Statistical Thermodynamics. The second volume contains 7 chapters, covering: Fundamentals of Chemical Kinetics (I), Fundamentals of Chemical Kinetics (II), Electrolyte Solutions, Measurement and Application of Reversible Battery Electromotive Force, Electrolysis and Polarization, Surface Chemistry, and Colloidal Dispersive Systems. In the future, supplementary materials such as a teaching guide, multimedia electronic teaching plans for lectures, and multimedia online courses will be published to form a new type of three-dimensional textbook. This book can be used as a textbook for the physical chemistry course in science and engineering chemistry programs and is also suitable for reference by related disciplines in higher normal universities and engineering colleges.
