More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This primer seeks to provide an introduction to the science of equilibrium electrochemistry; specifically it addresses the topics of electrode potentials and their applications. It builds on a knowledge of elementary thermodynamics giving the reader an appreciation of the origin of electrode potentials and shows how these are used to deduce a wealth of chemically important information and data such as equilibrium constants, the free energy, enthalpy and entrophy changes of chemical reactions, activity coefficients, the selective sensing of ions. The emphasis throughout is on understanding the foundations of the subject and how it may be used to study problems of chemical interest. The Primer is directed towards students in the early years of their university courses in chemistry and allied subjects; accordingly, the mathematical aspects of the subject have been minimized as far as is consistent with clarity.
About the Author
Richard G. Compton is at St. John's College, Oxford.

Format:Paperback
Like all OCPs you have to work to get results. The OCP editors choose authors well, whose skills, in order, are knowledge, writing about it and making it easy to understand. Reading it twice is the better way of doing it but one thing it does do is get you to the end with the knowledge you need. It is helpful to have the internet nearby when you are reading this book as conceptual jumps are sometimes made when you least expect them.
