Chemical Thermodynamics: Advanced Applications

Chemical Thermodynamics: Advanced Applications
J.Bevan Ott, Juliana Boerio-Goates | 2000-01-01 00:00:00 | Elsevier Science & Technology Books | 442 | Chemistry
Thermodynamics is, in many ways, much like this modern science building. At the base of the science is a strong foundation. This foundation, which consists of the three laws, has withstood the probing and scrutiny of scientists for over a hundred and fifty years. It is still firm and secure and can be relied upon to support the many applications of the science. Relatively straightforward mathematical relationships based upon these laws tie together a myriad of applications in all branches of science and engineering. In this series, we will focus on chemical applications, but even with this limitation, the list is extensive.

Model Systems in Catalysis: Single Crystals to Supported Enzyme Mimics

Model Systems in Catalysis: Single Crystals to Supported Enzyme Mimics
Robert Rioux | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Springer | 526 | Chemistry
The book concentrates on heterogeneous catalysis, but extends well beyond the most obvious model system – the single crystal. The book builds upon increasing complexity into catalyst models – that is building catalysts with controlled properties that begin to rival the complexity found in industrial based heterogeneous catalysts. This includes the deposition of clusters on flat, thin oxide surfaces amenable to characterize by electron, ion and photon based spectroscopic techniques, the thermal decomposition of organometallic clusters on surfaces with well-defined stoichiometry, to the tethering of homogeneous catalysts to metal oxide surfaces (i.e. heterogenized homogeneous catalysis) and finally evolving to a supported structural and functional mimic of the ultimate catalyst, the enzyme.

A Century of Separation Science

A Century of Separation Science
Haleem J.Issaq | 2002-01-01 00:00:00 | Marcel Dekker, Inc. | 769 | Chemistry
Since its introduction by Tswett in 1901 as column chromatography for the separation of plant pigments, separation science has developed many diversified branches, each of which has its advantages, limitations, and fields of application. This book explores many aspects of separation science. For example, Dr. Leslie Ettre discusses the development of chromatography in the twentieth century, a period that witnessed the emergence, development, and dominance of separation science as an analytical technique. Today, chromatography and electrophoresis are ‘‘must’’ techniques in the analytical laboratory, a topic further explored in Professor Johan Roeraade’s chapter, ‘‘From Crushed Bricks to Microchips,’’ which delineates the major developments in separation science.

With problem-solving shortcuts and lots of practice exercises, you'll build your chemistry skills and improve your performance both in and out of the science lab. You'll see how to work with numbers, atoms, and elements; make and remake compounds; understand changes in terms of energy; make sense of organic chemistry; and more!

100s of Problems!

* Know where to begin and how to solve the most common chemistry problems
* Step-by-step answer sets clearly identify where you went wrong (or right) with a problem
* Understand the key exceptions to chemistry rules
* Use chemistry in practical applications with confidence





Summary: A Great Workbook Even if You are Not a Dummy
Rating: 5

The best way to learn a subject, especially a subject with the reputation of difficulty that chemistry has, is to be engaged while learning. The quartet of authors (Mikulecky, Brutlag, Gilman, and Peterson)of this workbook have organized the material to keep the student actively involved while studying rather than reading a myriad of chemistry facts. I found this a super stand alone book for tutoring students having difficulties with chemistry.

Basic Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy, (Tutorial Chemistry Texts)

Basic Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy, (Tutorial Chemistry Texts)
J. Michael Hollas | 2002-08-30 00:00:00 | Royal Society of Chemistry | 192 | Chemistry
The main aim of this unique book is to introduce the student to spectroscopy in a clear manner which avoids, as far as possible, the mathematical aspects of the subject. It is thus intended for first or second year undergraduates, particularly those with minimal mathematics qualifications. After explaining the theory behind spectroscopy, the book then goes on to look at the different techniques, such as rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. It encompasses both high resolution (structural) and low resolution (analytical) spectroscopy, demonstrating their close interrelationship. The many worked problems make this book particularly appealing for independent study. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major new series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.

Physical Chemistry in Depth

Physical Chemistry in Depth
Johannes Karl Fink | 2009-10-01 00:00:00 | springer | 532 | Chemistry
"Physical Chemistry in Depth" is not a stand-alone text, but complements the text of any standard textbook on "Physical Chemistry" into depth having in mind to provide profound understanding of some of the topics presented in these textbooks. Standard textbooks inPhysical Chemistry start with thermodynamics, deal with kinetics, structure of matter, etc. The "Physical Chemistry in Depth " follows this adjustment, but adds chapters that are treated traditionally in ordinary textbooks inadequately, e.g., general scaling laws, the graphlike structure of matter, and cross connections between the individual disciplines ofPhysical Chemistry . Admittedly, the text is loaded with some mathematics, which is a prerequisite to thoroughly understand the topics presented here. However, the mathematics needed is explained at a really low level so that no additional mathematical textbook is needed.
