Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, and Kinetics is a groundbreaking new text that explains core topics in depth with a focus on basic principles, applications, and modern research.   The authors hone in on key concepts and cover them thoroughly and in detail – as opposed to the general, encyclopedic approach competing textbooks take. Excessive math formalism is avoided to keep students focused on the most important concepts and to provide greater clarity.

Applications woven throughout each chapter demonstrate to students how chemical theories are used to solve real-world chemical problems in biology, environmental science, and material science. Extensive coverage of modern research and new developments in the field get students excited about this dynamic branch of science. 

 

This split text (from Physical Chemistry) is organized to facilitate "Quantum first" courses.  Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, and Kinetics contains chapters 1-11, chapters 30-37 and the corresponding back matter from Engel and Reid's Physical Chemistry text.

 

 

Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, and Kinetics is a split text from the combined text Physical Chemistry and is organized to facilitate "Quantum first" courses. The combined text is arranged for a traditional "Thermo first" course; the split texts are organized to facilitate "Quantum first" courses.

 

The online Chemistry Place for Physical Chemistry features interactive problems and simulations that reinforce and build upon material included in the book.

  • Focuses on core topics. The authors believe it is better for students at this level to understand key topics more deeply, than to have a shallow understanding of a broad range of topics. Their premise is that with a firm foundation in the basics it will be easier for the student to understand the extension of the basic model to more complex cases. Supplemental sections expand on core concepts and are included as optional reading.
  • Modern applications drawn from biology, environmental science, and material science.   Spectroscopy applications are introduced early in concert with theory. For example, IR and rotational spectroscopy are discussed immediately after the harmonic oscillator and the rigid rotar.
  • Problem solving. Numerous worked examples help students practice their math and problem-solving skills. EOC problems include concept questions, quantitative problems, and a set of problems related to the web-based simulations and animations. Key equations are highlighted in the text.Math supplements are included in the appendix.
  • Covers modern research and new developments in the field like scanning tunneling microscopy, bandgap engineering, quantum wells, teleportation, and quantum computing to capture students’ attention and show them that physical chemistry is a dynamic branch of science.
  • A chapter on Computational Chemistry, written by Warren Hehre - who has a distinguished reputation as a developer of computational chemistry software and is credited with bringing these techniques to the educational environment.
  • Chemistry Place for Physical Chemistry Website features web-based problems and simulations that require students to generate graphs, answer questions, or write short essays to demonstrate their understanding of the material. Each online problem is an assignable exercise that the student can submit to the instructor.

    Thomas Engel has taught chemistry for more than 20 years at the University of Washington, where he is currently Professor of Chemistry and Associate Chair for the Undergraduate Program. Professor Engel received his bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry from the Johns Hopkins University, and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Chicago. He then spent 11 years as a researcher in Germany and Switzerland, in which time he received the Dr. rer. nat. habil. degree from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. In 1980, he left the IBM research laboratory in Zurich to become a faculty member at the University of Washington.

    Professor Engel's research interests are in the area of surface chemistry, and he has published more than 80 articles and book chapters in this field. He has received the Surface Chemistry or Colloids Award from the American Chemical Society and a Senior Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, which has allowed him to establish collaborations with researchers in Germany. He is currently working together with European manufacturers of catalytic converters to improve their performance for diesel engines.

    Philip Reid has taught chemistry at the University of Washington since he joined the chemistry faculty in 1995. Professor Reid received his bachelor's degree from the University of Puget Sound in 1986, and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1992. He performed postdoctoral research at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, campus before moving to Washington.

    Professor Reid's research interests are in the areas of atmosphere chemistry, condensed-phase reaction dynamics, and nonlinear optical materials. He has published more than 70 articles in these fields. Professor Reid is the recipient of a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation, is a Cottrell Scholar of the Research Corporation, and is a Sloan fellow.
