Rate processes, factors influencing reaction rates and the correlation of kinetics and mechanisms of reaction.
Units
Lecture3
Learning Outcomes
- determine the behavior of reaction systems with basic and complex mechanisms using analytical, approximation, and numerical methods.
- analyze and compare the kinetics of reactions occurring in the gas-phase, on surfaces, and in solution, including multicomponent systems, radical chain reactions, and catalytic reactions.
- relate features of the potential energy surface to the kinetics and dynamics of a reaction.
- apply collision theory, scattering theory, and statistical rate theory to the kinetics and dynamics of reactions.
