Features: This book is compiled in accordance with the basic requirements of the teaching of physical chemistry in engineering programs, serving as a reform-oriented teaching material for undergraduate biological physical chemistry courses in engineering disciplines of the 21st century. The book consists of 8 chapters, including: Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Thermodynamics of Multicomponent Multiphase Systems, Thermodynamics of Chemical Reactions, Chemical Reaction Kinetics, Thermodynamics of Phase Transitions, Electrochemistry, Surface Chemistry, Colloid Chemistry, etc. The book emphasizes the characteristics of engineering, focuses on fundamentals and applications, systematically elaborates on the basic concepts and theories of physical chemistry, and introduces the integration of physical chemistry with engineering and technological issues in relevant chapters. It is suitable as a teaching material for undergraduate biological physical chemistry courses in various engineering disciplines and can also be referenced by a broad range of chemical and chemical engineering professionals. Based on the 2002 edition of A Textbook of Physical Chemistry, this revised teaching material is developed in line with the new curriculum standards of physical chemistry courses for the 21st century. This edition retains the original book's features while particularly paying attention to the systematicity, scientific rigor, modernity, and novelty of the content. It emphasizes the characteristics of engineering, focuses on fundamentals and applications, systematically elaborates on the basic concepts and theories of physical chemistry, and introduces the integration of physical chemistry with engineering and technological issues in relevant chapters, presenting the book with a new appearance. The book is divided into 8 chapters, including: Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Thermodynamics of Multicomponent Systems, Thermodynamics of Chemical Reactions, Chemical Reaction Kinetics, Thermodynamics of Phase Transitions, Electrochemistry, Surface Chemistry, Colloid Chemistry, etc.
