Sommario/riassunto

Thermochemistry is the branch of thermodynamics that deals with the energy released or required as heat when a chemical reaction takes place. This volume will provide a comprehensive and modern overview of a range of experimental and computational methods in thermochemistry. The text will be suitable for postgraduate students and researchers active in this area of physical chemistry.
