Lauth:Physikalische Chemie kompakt

A solid foundational knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics is essential for understanding many technical, chemical, and biological processes. This book is based on a multimedia course for bio- and chemical engineers, designed to stimulate students' curiosity and initiative. The one-semester introductory lecture has been divided into 12 workshops (chapters). Each chapter addresses a practical area of physical chemistry and includes the following educational elements that make this book particularly engaging and comprehensible: - Videos at the beginning of each chapter to prepare for the workshop. - Key terms for further independent research. - Comprehension questions and calculation exercises with solutions for learning assessment. - Key illustrations as simple, easily reproducible blackboard drawings. Humorous cartoons for each workshop further lighten the text and serve as mnemonic aids in the learning process. To complement the course, the appendix includes a summary of the most well-known experiments in the physical-chemical basic practical course, as well as suggestions for structuring the workshops with exhibits, experiments, and daily questions. This book is suitable for students with a minor in chemistry, and chemistry students will also find this streamlined, pedagogically valuable work helpful. The book is excellent for self-study.
