Physical Chemistry in a Nutshell

<p>This book is based on a multimedia course for biological and chemical engineers which is designed to trigger students' curiosity and initiative. A solid basic knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics is necessary for understanding many technical chemical and biological processes.</p><p>The one-semester basic lecture course was divided into 12 workshops (chapters). Each chapter covers a practically relevant area of physical chemistry and contains the following didactic elements that make this book particularly exciting and understandable:</p><p>- Links to Videos at the start of each chapter as preparation for the workshop </p><p>- Key terms (in bold) for further research of your own</p><p>- Comprehension questions and calculation exercises with solutions as learning checks </p><p>- Key illustrations as simple easy-to-replicate blackboard pictures</p><p>Humorous cartoons for each workshop (by Faelis) additionally lighten up the text and facilitate the learning process as a mnemonic. To round out the book the appendix includes a summary of the most popular experiments in basic physical chemistry courses as well as suggestions for designing workshops with exhibits experiments and questions of the day.</p><p>Suitable for students minoring in chemistry; chemistry majors are sure to find this slimmed-down didactically valuable book helpful as well. The book is excellent for self-study.</p><p>  </p><p> </p><p><br> <br> <i></i></p><p><i><br></i><br></p>
