Introduction to thermochemistry -- The specific heat of solids gases -- Non-equilibrium and classical thermodynamics -- Kinetic molecular theory of gases -- Activity and solution of thermodynamics -- Gas mixtures -- Phase equilibria.

"Thermodynamics is "a physical science that studies the effects on material bodies, and on radiation in
regions of space, of transfer of heat and work" "Thermodynamics" is derived from the Greek words that mean "heat" and "power." Thermochemistry is the part of thermodynamics that studies the relationship between heat and chemical reactions. Thermochemistry is a very important field of study because it helps to determine if a particular reaction will occur and if it will release or absorb energy as it occurs. The subject of thermochemistry usually consists of things like calculations of certain quantities as heat capacity. enthalpy, entropy, and free energy, etc. One of the main parts of thermochemistry is energy. Before learning anything else, you must know what energy is and how it works.
This book contains seven chapters. The book deals with the study of the heat energy which is associated
with chemical reactions and/or physical transformations"-- Back cover.
