A discipline, under, chemistry, chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the study of the rates of chemical processes. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how different experimental conditions can influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about the reaction’s mechanism and transition states, as well as the construction of mathematical models, that can describe the characteristics of a chemical reaction. Chemical kinetics deals with the experimental determination of reaction rates from which rare laws and rate constants are derived. Relatively, simple rate laws exist for zero order reactions first order reactions and second order reactions and can be derived for others. In consecutive first order reactions, a steady state approximation can simplify the rate law. The activation energy for a reaction is experimentally determined through the Arrhenius equation and the Eyring equation. This research based work covers Chemical Kinetics, as a modern subject in all details.
This is a comprehensive, exclusive and exhaustive work on the subject. It is an asset for all researchers and scholars.
