"Thermochemistry is the field of science that combines the principles of thermodynamics and chemistry, both in theory and application. This combination of the two fields helps the society provide innovations that can help in finding solutions to several of the most challenging problems in the world. Thermochemistry is closely associated with thermodynamics and is based mostly on the principles that are defined in conventional thermodynamics. It focuses on the utilization of heat in the various chemical processes and how the generation and consumption of heat can be calculated so that the scientists and researcher can get an exact idea of what is happening in those processes. This book aims at making the readers aware about the subject of thermochemistry and explains the manner in which various principles of thermodynamics can be used to calculate several physical quantities, which can further be utilized in certain projects and technologies for further development. With this book it is the author's goal to provide readers essential and relevant information that will be instrumental in understanding the various concepts, processes and applications related to thermochemistry in a systematic manner"-- Back cover.
