Features: This book is one of the series "Core Course Textbooks in Chemistry at Hunan University." The series is supported by strong scientific and engineering capabilities, breaking the traditional separation of science and engineering in the teaching system of basic chemistry courses, and achieving integration of science and engineering. The integrated teaching system leads with physical chemistry, establishing the chemical and chemical engineering "" on a solid theoretical foundation, forming a new textbook framework. The second edition of this book has been revised and expanded based on several years of teaching practice, enhancing its general applicability and logical coherence. The book consists of 12 chapters, including 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 begins with an outline of the content and ends with a summary and exercises. Some interesting reading materials have been compiled to maximize readers' learning interest and efficiency. This book can be used as a textbook for chemistry, applied chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, biology, environmental science, and other related majors in higher technical and normal universities. It is also suitable for reference by relevant technical personnel and self-learners.
