Reaction Kinetics

An Introduction

Beschreibung

This book covers all basic topics of reaction kinetics, thus students do not need to refer to other resources to prepare for an undergraduate exam. It leads the reader into the topic starting from molecular level concepts and working towards the more macroscopic descriptions of kinetics, introducing the subject according to the state-of-the-art 21st century chemistry. A thorough treatment of formal kinetics of both elementary and complex reactions is based on actual practice, omitting many obsolete treatments of the subject. Mathematical operations are explained in enough detail so that even students that are less trained in calculus can easily follow and understand. Data treatment and statistical inference include modern - mostly numerical - methods widely used in applications. Experimental methods are described using basic technical details, however as techniques quickly change sophisticated devices are not the focus of this book. The emphasis lies on providingthe basic concepts which are important for students to understand.
This book is suitable as essential reading for courses in bachelor and master chemistry programs and is also valuable as a reference or textbook for students of physics, biochemistry and environmental science.

Rezensionen

"I am happy to recommend this book even as textbook for an introductory course in chemical kinetics. To help this objective, each chapter is followed by a short list of recommended literature for further reading ... also contain some solved problems, which have high value in education. The book is notably free of the many logical pitfalls that often plague similar textbooks. I wish my frst course in chemical kinetics at university had been based on a work like this."
