Overview

This book is a collection of 50 original problems in physical chemistry including several living systems. Each problem is accompanied by a detailed step-by-step solution, organized as strategy, assumptions, approximations, numerical calculation and interpretation. Solutions to the key problems (e.g. thermal equilibration, ligand-receptor interaction, aminoacid zwitterions, HOMO-LUMO gap) are accompanied by simple introductory explanations. In addition, informal notes are provided on difficult concepts, for example: entropy, reaction activation barrier, wave mechanics. Schemes, diagrams and structural formulas accompany most solutions and explanations.

Thus, this textbook may serve as a self-tutorial for undergraduate students in physical chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, and medicinal chemistry.

Reviews

<p>From the reviews: This book starts from the premise that existing physical chemistry textbooks have a limited readership due to being written for those students who have an interest in and aptitude for mathematics . The author seeks to redress this balance by providing detailed solutions to a number of problems which go rather beyond providing just a mathematical solution. this book is a useful addition to the repertoire of tools available to those who are both studying and teaching physical chemistry. (Paul Yates, Education in Chemistry, March, 2011)
