The book is a short course in modern physical chemistry. It is structured according to the classical principle: each paragraph begins with a presentation of theoretical material, followed by examples of problem solving and problems for independent solution. In total, the book contains about 800 problems in the main sections of physical chemistry. Answers or instructions for solutions are given for all calculation problems. The appendix contains all the information necessary to solve problems: tables of thermodynamic and kinetic data, a list of basic physical and chemical formulas and a mathematical minimum.

The book is intended for students and teachers of universities, as well as chemical, biological and medical universities.

Recommended by the UMO for classical university education as textbook for students studying in the specialty 011000 - Chemistry and in the direction 510500 - Chemistry.
