CHE 322 - Chemical Kinetics

2 Hour(s)
This is one of four 2-credit physical chemistry courses that may be taken in any order. CHE322 introduces the principles of physical chemistry, focusing on changes in chemical reactions. This course will start by investigating the manner in which chemicals react and are converted to products. The tools for carrying out such studies will be probed within the area of kinetics. Gas-phase collision theory will provide a path to understand how, why, and how fast gas-phase reactions occur. Classical kinetic analysis will be applied to solution and gas-phase reactions in order to develop molecular level mechanisms. This lecture course meets during the first-half of the semester, and must be taken with the associated laboratory (CHE322L), which incorporates modern instrumental design and data analysis.
