Abstract:

This paper demonstrated the introduction of calculus into chemical thermodynamics. The mathematical characteristics of state functions of chemical thermodynamics were summarized, and some basic concepts were discussed in terms of their correlations. Finally, the applications of calculus fundamentals to chemical thermodynamics were illustrated by several practical examples.

Key words: Chemical thermodynamics, Calculus, State function of thermodynamics, Total differential
