Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] In this course, theory and method of mathematical calculation of reaction rate for quantitative evaluation of chemical reaction will be explained., Furthermore, elucidation of reaction rate derived from reaction mechanism will be also explained.
[Aim of the course] To correctly understand chemical reactions, both thermodynamics and reaction kinetics are necessary. In this lecture, students acquire the ability to speculate reaction mechanism by comparison between a rate equation deduced from experimental results and a rate equation derived from rational reaction mechanism.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students acquire the following abilities:
(1) Ability to explain methods of measurement of reaction rate and mathematical description of reaction rate.
(2) Ability to derive rate equation from reaction mechanism.
(3) Ability to explain rate-determining step and activation energy.
(4) Ability to explain rate of reaction on solid surface.

Keywords

Reaction rate, rate-determining step, activation energy, steady state approximation, adsorption

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course will proceed in the following order: (1) fundamentals of reaction kinetics, (2) reaction rates of complicated reactions, (3) reaction on solid surface. In the last day, practice problems and interpretation of them will be carried out to confirm the level of understanding.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
