Annotation
ThePhysical Chemistry In Briefoffers a digest of all major formulas, terms and definitions
needed for an understanding of the subject. They are illustrated by schematic figures, simple
worked-out examples, and a short accompanying text. The concept of the book makes it
different from common university or physical chemistry textbooks. In terms of contents, the
Physical Chemistry In Briefembraces the fundamental course in physical chemistry as taught
at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague, i.e. the state behaviour of gases, liquids,
solid substances and their mixtures, the fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics, phase
equilibrium, chemical equilibrium, the fundamentals of electrochemistry, chemical kinetics and
the kinetics of transport processes, colloid chemistry, and partly also the structure of substances
and spectra. The reader is assumed to have a reasonable knowledge of mathematics at the level
of secondary school, and of the fundamentals of mathematics as taught at the university level.
