Reaction Kinetics

Klappentext Reaction kinetics is central to the study of chemistry. Kinetic studies can provide both an insight into the detailed molecular mechanisms of elementary reactions and practical information which can be used to unravel complex chemical problems such as the formation of the ozone hole. Thismodern! accessible text begins with an introduction to the importance and relevance of chemical kinetics! and then describes and explains the experimental and theoretical studies of elementary reactions. The applications of kinetics to complex phenomena such as chain reactions and photochemistry arethen described! emphasizing how these systems are built up of individual elementary reactions. Examples from the fields of chain reactions! atmospheric chemistry! explosions! oscillating reactions! and photochemistry are then explored in greater detail. Worked examples and problems throughout thetext allow students to obtain a detailed understanding of the field. Boxed inserts explain advanced topics more clearly. Zusammenfassung The study of reaction kinetics gives chemists insight into a range of chemical problems, from the ozone hole and photochemical smogs to enzyme reactions in living creatures. This text provides students of chemistry with a clear, accessible, modern account of both fundamental and applied apsects of chemical kinetics.
