DESCRIPTION:
"equally useful to students in their final years of either a chemistry or a chemical engineering degree." Journal of Chemical Education
This edition has been extensively revised in the light of recent contributions to the literature. The text covers the same ground as previous editions, presenting the general theory of chemical equilibrium, including its statistical development, and illustrating its many applications in the laboratory and industry. This is the fourth edition of an established textbook of chemical thermodynamics used by university and technical college students of chemistry and chemical engineering. Many new references have been added; the re-writing of certain passages, especially of those concerning the statistical interpretation of entropy and the present understanding of order-disorder transitions, also reflects changes of emphasis.
Denbigh is Top Notch This is the recognized standard for chemical thermodynamics but not the best for learning thermo unless you are unusually bright and enjoy rigor. Once you have a course in Chem Thermo under your belt, this is a wonderfully concise and rigorous treatment of everything that you might have wondered about. I own every edition from the first to this one. For the mo. Lucid and consistent This book is by far the best book, in my view, on the subject of chemical thermodynamics. The author covered both the classical and statistical aspects of the subject, and did it with such lucidity and consistency as rarely seen in books dealing with similar topics. Unlike many other text books which are primarily consisted of formulas and sample calculations,. good for graduate level, but otherwise This is not a book for beginners. While the subject is covered thouroughly, there are virtually no examples on the usage of the equations and formulas. Perhaps I simply had a poor teacher but I feel that this book was written with the intention of being used as a reference book for graduate level students. I would recommend any undergrad assigned this book for
