Reaction Kinetics

This title covers the main topics required for a good working knowledge and understanding of the fundamental aspects of kinetics. It places emphasis on the collection and manipulation of data to provide standard kinetic quantities such as rates, rate constants, enthalpies, entropies, free energies and volumes of activation. The uses of these quantities are then explained, with reference to the fields of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry as well as other relevant areas such as biochemistry. The text then goes on to look the gas phase studies and solution kinetics, utilizing worked examples to illustrate the topics.
