Notion of Activity in Chemistry

This book provides deep insight into the physical quantity knownaschemical activity. The author probes deep into classical thermodynamics in Part I, and then into statistical thermodynamics in Part II, to provide the necessary background.The treatment has been streamlined by placing some background material in appendices.Chemical Activity is of interest not only tothose in chemical thermodynamics, but also to chemical engineers working with mass transfer and its applications - for example, separation methods.
