By James House, Illinois State University, USA
Description James House's revised Principles of Chemical Kinetics provides a clear and logical description of chemical kinetics in a manner unlike
any other book of its kind. Clearly written with detailed derivations, the text allows students to move rapidly from theoretical concepts
of rates of reaction to concrete applications.
Unlike other texts, House presents a balanced treatment of kinetic reactions in gas,
solution, and solid states. The entire text has been revised and includes many new sections and an additional chapter on applications
of kinetics. The topics covered include quantitative relationships between molecular structure and chemical activity, organic/inorganic
chemistry, biochemical kinetics, surface kinetics and reaction mechanisms. Chapters also include new problems, with answers to selected
questions, to test the reader's understanding of each area. A solutions manual with answers to all questions is available for instructors.
A useful text for both students and interested readers alike, Dr. House has once again written a comprehensive text simply explaining
an otherwise complicated subject.
Audience
Primary audience is 3rd year students in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, does
meet the needs of students at a variety of levels in
various disciplines and is suitable for self-learners. Physicists, biochemists, pharmacists and researchers interested in reaction kinetics
and catalysis will also find the principles and applications relevant to their studies.
