Using the classical (phenomenological) approach to thermodynamics as opposed to the statistical approach, this text applies theory to chemical, biological and geological problems. The essential mathematical tools and computational techniques are reviewed. This edition contains additional problems, chapters on the thermodynamics of the electrochemical cell, Eh/pH diagrams, a revised chapter on the estimation of thermodynamic properties and treatment of the latest work in electrolyte solutions.
