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. |

Electrical work can be converted into heat by allowing current to flow through a
resistance, and mechanical work can drive a stirrer in a liquid, raising the
temperature of the liquid by frictiongenerated heat. The quantities of work and

For an isothermal change of an ideal gas, the heat absorbed is equal to minus
the work done, as stated in Equation (3-12). Consequently Equations (3-14) and (
3-15) also give expressions for qrev, the particular value of the heat absorbed ...

The specific heat capacity, which is the value for 1 g of a substance, and the
molar heat capacity, equal to the specific heat capacity multiplied by the
molecular weight, are both intensive properties, which means that they have
values ...

The experimental results for the heat capacities at constant volume for diatomic
molecules are thus about 5 cal / (mol deg). Nonlinear molecules, such as water,
can rotate about any or all of three mutually perpendicular axes, these axes, too,
