Page 3 - Basic physical chemistry for the atmospheric sciences
P. 3

Modern  studies of the  atmosphere ,  oceans,  and  earth  and  planetary
            systems demand a sound knowledge of basic chemical principles. This
            book provides a clear, concise review of these principles, particularly
            relating  to  the  atmosphere.  Students  with  little  formal  training  in
            chemistry  can  work  through  the  chapters  and  numerous  exercises
            within this book before accessing the standard texts in the atmospheric

            and environmental sciences .
              Basic  Physical Chemistry f o r the Atmospheric Sciences covers  the
            fundamental concepts of chemical equilibria, chemical thermodynam­
            ics,  chemical  kinetics,  solution chemistry,  acid  and  base  chemistry,
            oxidation-reduction  reactions,  and  photochemistry.  Over  160  e x er­
            cises  are  contained within the text,  including 50  numerical  problems
            solved  in the text and  1 1 2  exercises for the reader to work on  with
            hints and solutions provided in an appendix.
              Basic  Physical  Chemistry f o r  the  A t mospheric  Sciences  is written
            by an internationally known atmospheric science researcher and suc­
            cessful  textbook  author.  Whether  u s ed  in  an  introductory  class  in
            chemistry  or  for  self-instruction  as  a  supplementary  workbook  this
            book will be an invaluable resource for a broad range of students.
