This revised and updated edition provides clear basic knowledge of thermodynamics fundamentals as well as their use and applications to chemical systems. Included in the text are some 100 examples, combining theoretical and numerical applications to illustrate the way in which the formal results can be applied. Color figures and illustrations serve to ease comprehension of the systems investigated as well as the results obtained. In the text, some of the most important statements and equations are highlighted. Undergraduate students will find the content easily accessible, while the coverage is thorough. We investigate various systems, those containing only one chemical species (phase equilibria for example), systems containing mixtures of non-reacting species and systems where chemical reactions occur. We provide examples on how to obtain all the possible reactions in a system when knowing the species that are either present or generated by all of the possible reactions. The thermodynamics of gases are extensively described, first for systems of ideal gases, pure or mixtures, then the tools needed to deal with real gases are developed. Systems with multiple phases are also described. The energetics of chemical reactions is investigated. This knowledge can be used to find out how to store energy or convert chemical energy to electricity using batteries or fuel cells.
