Chemistry for B.Sc. Students: Chemical Thermodynamics and Applications | Reaction Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry, (MJ 9, 10, 11) Semester V [NEP Jharkhand]

Product Overview & Details

This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. Fifth Semester students of Chemistry as per Common Minimum Syllabus prescribed for Ranchi University and other Universities and Colleges under the recommended National Education Policy 2020 in Jharkhand. The book is divided into three major sections—Chemical Thermodynamics, Organic Reaction Mechanisms and Practical—this book offers a well-structured and detailed exposition of core physical and organic chemistry topics. The first section explores the foundational Laws of Thermodynamics, Thermochemistry, Entropy, Free Energy Functions, Partial Molar Quantities and Equilibria, along with an in-depth study of Dilute Solutions. These topics are presented with thermodynamic derivations, graphical interpretations and real-world applications to enhance conceptual clarity.

The second section delves into the elaborate Mechanisms of Organic Reactions, discussing structure and reactivity, Reactive Intermediates, Nucleophilic and Electrophilic Substitutions and Additions to Carbon-Carbon and Carbon-Hetero Multiple Bonds. Special focus is given to modern topics such as HSAB theory, Kinetic Isotope Effects, Steric Effects, regioselectivity and pericyclic reactions. Both classical and contemporary reaction pathways are treated with clarity and rigor.

Supported by well-designed practical experiments on Thermochemistry, Equilibrium and Inorganic Preparations. The book not only strengthens theoretical understanding but also sharpens experimental skills—making it an essential resource for students and teaching faculties.

• Extensive coverage of both physical and organic chemistry components.
• Illustrative figures, reaction mechanisms and thermodynamic equations for better comprehension.
• Laboratory experiments based on key topics for hands-on learning.
• Ideal for Chemistry students preparing for exams, lab work and further academic research.
