To investigate the chemical reaction rate is important to elucidate the mechanism of chemical reaction. Chemical reaction kinetics is the academic field that deals with its reaction rate. This chemical reaction kinetics is widely applied to fields such as nanoscience, life science, environmental science, space science, material science and material engineering. In this lecture, the theoretical handling of the chemical reaction rate with respect to the kinetics of chemical reactions (kinetics) will be mainly explained by taking gas molecules and reactions of molecules in solution as examples. Especially, students who want to learn in metallurgy engineering group (A group) are recommended to take this class.
[Objective] By taking this lecture, you will learn the fundamentals of molecular theory of gas, transport phenomena and diffusion, reaction kinetics, reaction mechanism, which are important basic concepts for chemistry and material engineering.
[Theme] Chemical reaction rate is generally expressed by the rate of change with time of a substance which changes according to reaction. It is also important to investigate the reaction rate to clarify the mechanism of chemical reaction. In the lecture on chemical reaction kinetics dealing with this reaction rate, the theoretical handling of the chemical reaction rate with respect to the kinetics of chemical reactions (kinetics) will be explained as an example of the reaction of molecules in gas molecules and solution.
