Physical Chemistry and Its Biological ApplicationsPhysical Chemistry and Its Biological Applications presents the basic principles of physical chemistry and shows how the methods of physical chemistry are being applied to increase understanding of living systems. Chapters 1 and 2 of the book discuss states of matter and solutions of nonelectrolytes. Chapters 3 to 5 examine laws in thermodynamics and solutions of electrolytes. Chapters 6 to 8 look at acid-base equilibria and the link between electromagnetic radiation and the structure of atoms. Chapters 9 to 11 cover different types of bonding, the rates of chemical reactions, and the process of adsorption. Chapters 12 to 14 present molecular aggregates, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and photochemistry, and radiation. This book is useful to biological scientists for self-study and reference. With modest additions of mathematical material by the teacher, the book should also be suitable for a full-year major's course in physical chemistry. |

The zero of temperature on the centigrade, or Celsius, scale was formerly defined
as the freezing point of water; this ice point is not the same as the triple point but
is the temperature at which ice and air-saturated water are in equilibrium under ...

The magnitude of the permanent separation of charge in a molecule can be
expressed by a quantity known as the dipole moment; this is defined as the
product of the amount of charge separated and the dis— tance of separation.
Since the ...

Indeed, energy is best defined as the capacity to do work, or that which may be
produced from or converted into work. Heat is the term applied to energy
transferred from one place to another because of a temperature difference
between the ...

In order that one can think clearly about these changes in energy, it is necessary
to define precisely that portion of the universe which is under consideration. That
is, it is necessary to set up the limits or boundaries of a thermodynamic system.

PHASE CHANGES A simple type of physical process, the vaporization of a liquid,
affords us a first example of the application of the thermodynamic quantities that
have been defined. This change can be readily carried out at constant pressure,
