Learn how to plan and conduct your own kinetic studies with this stimulating introduction to chemical kinetics
Basic Chemical Kinetics An Audio Course Produced by the American Chemical Society Presented by a leading authority in the field of chemical kinetics, this unique course offers you an understanding of the kinetics of chemical changes in bulk samples. You'll gain a sound knowledge of the dynamics of individual molecular acts, and through extensive examples, you'll learn • how experimental data are used to establish rate laws • the relationship between reaction mechanisms and rate laws • how catalysts change reaction rates In addition, you'll become conversant in the theory and applications of the concept of orders of reactions. With the instructor's expert guidance, you'll cover many aspects of chemical kinetics, including • rate laws • experimental establishment of rate laws • evaluation of rate constants • mechanisms of chemical reactions • theories of reaction kinetics • homogeneous catalysis of chemical reactions Instructor Dr. Edward L. King is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He served as chairman of the Department of Chemistry from 19701972 and as editor of Inorganic Chemistry for five years. He is the author of How Chemical Reactions Occur (W.A. Benjamin, 1963) and Chemistry (Painter and Hopkins, 1979). His research activities have been in areas of inorganic and physical chemistry, focusing on kinetics and mechanisms of reactions in solutions, complex ion equilibria, and ion solvation in mixed solvents.
