Overview
- Gives a new interpretation of chemical activity
- Includes twenty-eight appendices that break down and help solve equations
- Contained in appendices are a general mathematical background in the material, individual derivations, and calculations
- Provides supplemental information on a qualitative approach of the classical canonical partition function in phase space, pairwise additivity assumption, Kirkwood-Buff theory, and a discussion on classical and statistical thermodynamics
- Discusses classical and statistical thermodynamics with regard to the notion

About this book
This book provides deep insight into the physical quantity known as chemical activity. The author probes deep into classical thermodynamics in Part I, and then into statistical thermodynamics in Part II, to provide the necessary background. The treatment has been streamlined by placing some background material in appendices. Chemical Activity is of interest not only to those in chemical thermodynamics, but also to chemical engineers working with mass transfer and its applications - for example, separation methods.
