Thermodynamics of Heterogenous Systems

Thermodynamics plays a very important role in heterogenous kineties both by providing the existence ranges of the studied transformations and by its use in the most important approximate methods of modeling. 

The thermodynamic study of a system can have four objectives classified in the order in which we want to deepen our understanding of the studied system  

A thermodynainic study thus will be more or less sophisticated aceording to our deep understanding of the system. However, it is certain that kinetics and mechanism studies require a thorough thermodynamic knowledge of the system going nntil the fonrth step.

Geochemistry has deep roots. Its beginnings can be traced back to antiquity, but many of the discoveries that are basic to the science were made between 1800 and 1910. The periodic table of elements was assembled, radioactivity was discovered, and the thermodynamics of heterogeneous systems was developed. The solar spectrum was used to determine the composition of the Sun. This information, together with chemical analyses of meteorites, provided an entry to a larger view of the universe.
