Seiffert:Physical Chemistry Capieren

Physical chemistry deals with the fundamental principles of the material world. It is a key discipline for all other areas of chemistry and serves as a foundation not only for their technical applications but also for understanding very basic principles—extending to the chemical basis of life and its greatest threat: climate change. Core aspects of the book are clarity and formal correctness in harmony. It features a modular structure made up of compact teaching units as a basis for a blended learning event. Conceptual multiple-choice questions accompany each teaching unit to reinforce and deepen knowledge in both e-learning and in-person sessions following the peer instruction method. Professor Seiffert received the Ars Legendi Award for the subject of chemistry from the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft in 2023. This award is considered the highest German distinction in university teaching and was also given for the textbook 'Understanding Physical Chemistry,' which presents a foundational course in physical chemistry in a blended learning format for the first time. This book is designed for a course in physical chemistry in a blended learning format. It presents the classic material of a typical introductory lecture (chemical thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry), divided into 24 thematically focused teaching units, pedagogically prepared to achieve an understanding of the fundamental concepts both qualitatively and quantitatively.
