A branch of physical chemistry concerned with the absorption or
evolution of heat that accompanies chemical reactions. Closely related topics are the latent heat associated with a change
in phase (solid, liquid, gas), and the chemical composition of reacting systems at equilibrium. Thermodynamics provides the
link among these phenomena. I've chosen this section of Chemistry because it had such an impact to chemistry and other develpoments,
and without it we wouldn't know many things about certain elements and chemical reactions.
