Features: This book is written based on the author's many years of teaching experience. The materials are mainly derived from typical examples of common difficulties among students, the author's teaching insights, insightful discussions from relevant books both domestically and internationally, as well as representative questions from a chemistry question bank. The arguments start from basic concepts, striving to be thorough yet accessible, rigorous and accurate, thought-provoking, and with a focus on coherence and comprehensive understanding. The solutions to typical examples emphasize analyzing the essence of the problems, identifying key contradictions, introducing problem-solving approaches and critical steps, and extending them to some thought-provoking new questions. Some problems provide multiple solutions to broaden readers' perspectives and achieve the effect of generalizing from specific cases. By analyzing, comparing, categorizing, and judging, the book attempts to build a bridge between textbooks and exercise books, making them organically integrated and more suitable for self-study while enhancing readers' understanding and grasp of dialectical materialism. Some materials in the book have been used by students in multiple sessions with good results... This edition was published in October 1999 and has sold 19,000 copies to date. The target readership primarily includes undergraduate and graduate students, teachers and researchers in related disciplines, as well as engineering and technical personnel. The China Academy of Sciences has also adjusted the examination subjects for recruiting graduate students in chemistry, biology, materials, metallurgy, and other related fields. The professional courses have been reduced from three to two, with Physical Chemistry becoming the only mandatory subject. The total score for the exam has also been increased from 100 to 150 points. This change fully demonstrates the demand for physical chemistry knowledge in scientific research and the necessity of accurately mastering the fundamental principles of the course. To adapt to the evolving situation, this edition has been supplemented and revised, expanding both the depth and breadth of knowledge. In line with the trends of discipline development, this version has strengthened the content of the Statistical Thermodynamics chapter and given more attention to applied problems. Accurately grasping the essence of problem statements, commenting on the analytical steps of different question types, and providing in-depth analysis of basic concepts, theories, and methods to offer readers valuable insights and space for reflection—these are the purposes of this book.
