CHM407REACTION KINETICS

CHM407 – Reaction Kinetics

This course focuses on the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions. Students study rate laws, reaction order, and the influence of temperature and catalysts on reaction rates. The course delves into collision theory, transition state theory, and complex reaction mechanisms, including consecutive, parallel, and reversible reactions.

Laboratory sessions are designed to help students determine reaction rates and interpret kinetic data. This foundational course is crucial for advanced studies in catalysis, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, and industrial process control.
