Fundamentals of Chemical Kinetics Volume-I: (A Textbook for Beginners) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977721921)

The chemical kinetics is a part of the syllabi in the subject of chemistry at both undergraduate and post-graduate courses offered by the universities all over the world. The books are designed primarily for the college and university students of chemistry courses to strengthen basic understanding and to create interest in the subject of chemical kinetics in comprehensive way. The prime aim of the present books is to provide the fundamental concepts of reaction kinetics, carefulness in practicing problems, and insight into mathematical treatment in derivation of integrated rate laws. The contents of chemical kinetics are divided into volumes. The first book covers the essential topics which are desired for conceptual knowledge, working problems and understanding of the fundamental aspects of kinetics. It emphasizes how kinetic data is analyzed to investigate standard kinetic parameters such as rates, rate constants, half-lives and energies of activation. The second volume comprises the factors affecting the rates of reaction and various theories of reaction rates. The books are the result of the accumulated experience of 23 very stimulating years of teaching students at all levels. During this period, chemical kinetics is regularly taught at various levels, but more importantly interactive classes were held. It is observed that many students turn rapidly away from topics which are quantitative and involve mathematical equations. These books attempt to diminish the fears by guiding the students through these topics in a step-by-step derivation which explains the logic, reasoning and actual manipulation. Further, the illustrative problems are given occasionally to aid understanding of the concepts and to boost up interest in solving numerical. To check the conceptual knowledge and strengthen the foundation of the concepts as well as to build capacity in problems/MCQs solving for various competitive examinations (UGC CSIR NET, GATE and GSET); self-study questions, conceptual practice problems and multiple choice questions are provided at the end of each chapter.
