Wer wissen will, wie und warum Reaktionen stattfinden, welche physikalischen und chemischen Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden mussen und welche Einflusse zu beachten sind, wird auch nach dem Studium immer wieder zu diesem anschaulichen Text greifen.
Back Jacket
An Introduction to Chemical Kinetics provides a gentle overview of the subject offering a comprehensive coverage of key topics needed for a clear understanding of the fundamental aspects of kinetics. Emphasis is placed on how experimental data is collected and manipulated to give standard kinetic quantities relating to rates of reaction. The book then moves on to interpret these quantities, and to develop mechanisms describing the chemical steps in a wide variety of reactions in both gas and solution phase.The student is carefully guided through the necessary theory, in particular looking at how and why reactions occur and the physical and chemical requirements for reaction.
An invaluable text for students of chemistry, chemical engineering, pharmacy and biochemistry taking a first course in kinetics. This book will also be of interest to professionals in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry needing an accessible introduction to the subject.
- Includes learning objectives, summary sections and end of chapter problems.
- Step by step guidance and and clear explanation of topics.
- Includes a wide variety of worked examples throughout.
- Shows the relevance of kinetics to many areas of chemistry.
