Physical chemistry for the biosciences /
Chang, Raymond.
Physical chemistry for the biosciences / - Sansalito, Calif. : University Science, c2005. - xiii, 677 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 28 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Properties of gases. -- The first law of thermodynamics. -- The second law of thermodynamics. -- Solutions. -- Chemical equilibrium. -- Electrochemistry. -- Acids and bases. -- Chemical kinetics. -- Enzyme kinetics. -- Quantum mechanics and atomic structure. -- The chemical bond. -- Intermolecular forces. -- Spectroscopy. -- Photochemistry and photobiology. -- Macromolecules. -- Appendix 1: Review of mathematics. -- Appendix 2: Thermodynamic data.
The author emphasizes the understanding of physical concepts rather than focus on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details. Therefore only basic skills of differential and integral calculus are required for understanding the equations.
