Course Objectives Theory of rate processes, applications of kinetics to the study of reaction mechanisms.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • • Understand and articulate the basic principles of chemical kinetics
  • • Describe the fundamental chemical and physical properties that determine chemical reaction rates
  • • Carry out calculations on reaction rates using the rate law
  • • Estimate elementary reaction rate constants based on collision theory and transition state theory
Course Content After an initial treatment of the basic phenomenological view of kinetics, we will cover classical analyses of reaction mechanisms (steady-state approximation, pre-equilibria, etc), transition-state theory, and various experimental methods of determining reaction rates and mechanisms.
