Thermodynamics of solutions and mixtures

The thermodynamics of solutions and mixtures studies the energy properties of multiconstituent systems. It is the science that governs energy exchanges between systems undergoing a physical or chemical transformation and the external environment. It finds its applications in the design and modelling of chemical processes, requiring precise knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of pure bodies and mixtures. The thermodynamics of solutions and mixtures is one of the fundamental disciplines of solution chemistry, which deals with acid-base reactions, oxidation-reduction, solubility and complexation equilibria.
