Overview
- The book gives the reader a compact exposition of the theoretical basis of one of the most important laws of chemistry from the point of view of statistical mechanics
- Although small, it nevertheless supplies all the material enabling a student in mastering some fundamental problems and get some practice in using nonideal forms of the law of mass action
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
J.AM. Chem. Soc., Vol. 124, No. 6, 2002: (...) The interested student may ask, "Where do I go from here? How do I handle nonideal gases and the most nonideal of gases, liquids and solids?". For this subset of students, this book is perfect. It reviews what needs to be reviewed and deals with the harder topics of chemical equilibrium in states that are less convenient than the ideal gas state. (...) For advanced, mathematically competent students, this is the perfect text. Carl David, University of Connecticut
"What can one say about a wonderful book … . The Law of Mass Action represents the culminating relationship of standard chemical thermodynamics, a sort of crown jewel of abstract reasoning putting the Gibbs’ free energy at the service of chemical equilibrium. … It reviews (succinctly) what needs to be reviewed and deals with the harder topics of chemical equilibrium in states that are less convenient than the ideal gas state. … For advanced, mathematically competent students, this is the perfect text." (Carl David, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 124 (6), 2002)
