Calculations in Chemical Kinetics for Undergraduates

About this book

Calculations in Chemical Kinetics for Undergraduates aims to restore passion for problem solving and applied quantitative skills in undergraduate chemistry students. Avoiding complicated chemistry jargon and providing hints and step wise explanations in every calculation problem, students are able to overcome their fear of handling mathematically applied problems in physical chemistry. This solid foundation in their early studies will enable them to connect fundamental theoretical chemistry to real experimental applications as graduates.

Additional Features Include:

  • Contains quantitative problems from popular physical chemistry references.

  • Provides step by step explanations are given in every calculation problem.

  • Offers hints to certain problems as "points to note" to enable student comprehension.

  • Includes solutions for all questions and exercises.

This book is a great resource for undergraduate chemistry students however, the contents are rich and useful to even the graduate chemist that has passion for applied problems in physical chemistry of reaction Kinetics.

Trusted by 375,005 students

Access to over 1.5 million titles for a fair monthly price.

1 Reaction Rates, Molecularity and Rate Law

DOI: 10.1201/9781003274384-1

1.1 Rates of Chemical Reactions

This simply refers to the concentration of reactants used up to form products during a chemical reaction each time. Hence, the velocity of a chemical reaction is the rate at which the reactant concentration decreases or product concentration increases with time.
rate = change in concentration time = mol dm − 3 s = mol dm − 3 s − 1
Consider, the chemical reaction below.
a A + b B → c C + d D
The rate of disappearance of a reactant = the rate of formation of a product. The reaction rate of the above chemical reaction is given below.
Rate = − Δ A a Δ t = − Δ B b Δ t = + Δ C c Δ t = + Δ D d Δ t
The negative sign indicates a decrease in the concentration of reactants while the positive sign indicates an increase in th...
