The text, containing 83 tables and 181 figures, covers a wide variety of topics – ranging from atomic structure to chemical and isotopic equilibria to modern biogeochemical cycles – which are divided into four interrelated parts: Crystal Chemistry; Chemical Reactions (and biochemical reactions involving bacteria); Isotope Geochemistry (radiogenic and stable isotopes); and The Earth Supersystem, which includes discussions pertinent to the evolution of the solid Earth, the atmosphere, and the hydrosphere. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with the modern trend in the field of geochemistry, the book emphasizes computational techniques by developing appropriate mathematical relations, solving a variety of problems to illustrate application of the mathematical relations, and leaving a set of questions at the end of each chapter to be solved by students. However, so as not to interrupt the flow of the text, involved chemical concepts and mathematical derivations are separated in the form of boxes. Supplementary materials are packaged into ten appendixes that include a standard-state (298.15 K, 1 bar) thermodynamic data table and a listing of answers to selected chapter-end questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Crystal Chemistry 7\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Atomic Structure 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Chemical Bonding 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Chemical Reactions 49\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Basic Thermodynamic Concepts 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Thermodynamics of Solutions 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Geothermometry and Geobarometry 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Reactions Involving Aqueous Solutions 134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Oxidation–Reduction Reactions 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Kinetics of Chemical Reactions 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Isotope Geochemistry 223\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Radiogenic Isotopes 225\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Stable Isotopes 253\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV The Earth Supersystem 281\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 The Core–Mantle–Crust System 283\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 The Crust–Hydrosphere–Atmosphere System 326\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1 Units of measurement and physical constants 372\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2 Electronic configurations of elements in ground state 374\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 3 First ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity (Pauling scale), and coordination numbers of selected elements 377\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4 Thermodynamic symbols 379\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 5 Standard state (298.15 K, 105 Pa) thermodynamic data for selected elements, ionic species, and compounds 382\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 6 Fugacities of H2O and CO2 in the range 0.5–10.0 kbar and 200–1000°C 396\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 7 Equations for activity coefficients in multicomponent regular solid solutions 398\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 8 Some commonly used computer codes for modeling of geochemical processes in aqueous solutions 400\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 9 Solar system abundances of the elements in units of number of atoms per 106 silicon atoms 402\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 10 Answers to selected chapter–end questions 403\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 406\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 431\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501096857880,"sku":"9781405121422","price":46.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781405121422.jpg?v=1786210059","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/introduction-to-geochemistry-principles-and-applications-paperback-softback-9781405121422","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
