This straightforward presentation explores chemical applications of thermodynamics as well as physical interpretations. The author considers the first and second laws of thermodynamics in turn, after which he proceeds to applications of thermodynamic principles, emphasizing the interpretation of entropy changes and chemical behavior in terms of qualitative molecular properties. 1964 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by W. A. Benjamin, Inc., New York, Amsterdam, 1964.
