Geochemical Thermodynamics Summary

Geochemical Thermodynamics by Darrell Kirk Nordstrom

Geochemical Thermodynamics presents the fundamental principles of thermodynamics for both high- and low-temperature geochemistry. It is intended for first-year graduate students in geology and geochemistry and is a useful prerequisite for more advanced courses in solution-mineral equilibria, petrology and aqueous geochemistry. The authors' aims are to emphasize the basic principles of thermodynamics and to describe these principles within a geochemical framework. Topics of special interest include the phase rule, chemography, solid solutions, ionic activities in mixed aqueous electrolytes, alternative approaches to redox potentials in natural systems and chemical potential diagrams for multiphase systems.

Table of Contents

Equilibrium, disequilibrium, and the steady state; properties of pure gases; the fundamental relationships; phases equilibria in simple systems; thermodynamics of solutions; calculation of activities in gas mixtures, minerals, and silicate melts; electrolyte theory; mineral equilibria I - the equilibrium constant; mineral equilibria II - chemical potential diagrams; mineral equilibria III - oxidation-reduction reactions; thermodynamic data - measurements and estimations; thermodynamic data - compilation and evaluation; appendices - units, symbols, and fundamental constants; exact differentials and partial differentiation; derivation of activity relationship for ideal mixing of ions on crystallographic sites; retrieval of standard thermodynamic data from hydrothermal phase equilibrium experiments; the computation of geochemical equilibrium; sources of thermodynamic data.
