Ira N. Levine's sixth edition of Physical Chemistry provides students with an in-depth fundamental treatment of physical chemistry. At the same time, the treatment is made easy to follow by giving full step-by-step derivations, clear explanations and by avoiding advanced mathematics unfamiliar to students. Necessary math and physics have thorough review sections. Worked examples are followed by a practice exercise.

In total, there are 23 chapters presented. The names of the chapters are The First Law Of Thermodynamics, Reaction Equilibrium In Non-ideal Systems, Transport Processes, Kinetic Theory Of Gases, Spectroscopy And Photochemistry, and Theories Of Reaction Rates. Some of the other chapters include Reaction Equilibrium In Ideal Gas Mixtures, Standard Thermodynamic Functions Of Reaction, The Second Law Of Thermodynamics, and Multicomponent Phase Equilibrium. Lessons titled Solids And Liquids, One-Component Phase Equilibrium And Surfaces, Solutions, Real Gases, and Statistical Mechanics are also present.

Some of the concepts discussed in Physical Chemistry are phase equilibrium, entropy, ideal-gas reaction equilibrium, the Phase rule, the Clapeyron equation, the law of corresponding states, and partial molar quantities. Topics like solutions of electrolytes, the equilibrium constant, Gibbs energy change for a reaction, the interphase region, galvanic cells, and applications of EMF measurements are also explored.

All these concepts are explained without the use of too many confusing advanced mathematical concepts. Important equations have been highlighted. Readers are provided with 127 solved examples along with 1584 end-of-chapter questions, which will help them gauge their understanding of the subject. Additionally, Physical Chemistry also contains around 501 illustrations.
