PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY: A Problem Solving Approach in 15 chapters covers a broad spectrum of topics for undergraduate. Units and dimension, mutual conversion of units and basic mathematical formula required to handle the problems are discussed in the first chapter followed by problems related to different states of matter (gas, liquid and solid), thermodynamics and its applications, thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, colligative properties of dilute solutions, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, photochemistry and spectroscopy.

• • Multiple choice and descriptive type questions • Numerical problems covering the aforesaid topics • Footnotes to assist the readers to get the essence of the problem and to decipher the underlying tricks • Usefulness of thermodynamics and spectroscopy mentioned briefly
