• The Boltzmann distribution (exercise 3.6)
  The dynamic graphical visualisation of the Boltzmann distribution at each of six different temperatures.
• Computation of C_P (exercise 6.5)
  The computation of C_P using a virial equation.
• The Shomate equation (exercise 6.6)
  The computation of C_P using the Shomate equation.
• Chemical equilibrium (exercise 14.4)
  The dynamic graphical visualisation of how the total G of a generalised gas phase reaction mixture varies according to the extent-of-reaction ξ.
• The van der Waals equation (exercise 15.5)
  The dynamic graphical visualisation of the van der Waals equation for six different temperatures around the critical point.
• The compressibility factor Z (exercise 21.2)
  The dynamic graphical visualisation of the compressibility factor Z for a van der Waals fluid at five different temperatures.
• G versus P, and fugacity (exercise 22.4)
  The dynamic graphical visualisation of G as a function of the pressure P for an ideal gas, and also a van der Waals gas, from which the fugacity f can be inferred.
• The biochemical standard state (exercise 23.6)
  The dynamic graphical visualisation of how the total G of a generalised reaction taking place in aqueous solution, in which hydrogen ions are either produced or consumed, varies according to the extent-of-reaction ξ, for measurements made under both the conventional standards and the biochemical standard, and for the reaction taking place in an unbuffered solution, and also a solution buffered at a given pH.
