4.3. Chemical Kinetics

Lecture on chemical kinetics, including a discussion on rate laws, theories and reaction mechanisms.

OUTLINE
4:19 Reaction rates
11:00 Rate law
13:02 Determining the rate law: isolation method
20:28 Determining the rate law: integrated rate laws
31:02 Half-life
53:23 Collision Theory
1:01:49 Transition-State Theory
1:05:43 Effect of temperature on reaction rates: the Arrhenius equation
1:11:20 Reaction mechanisms
1:19:02 Pre-equilibrium method
1:21:26 Steady-state approximation
1:31:21 Special mechanisms: Lindemann mechanism
1:39:51 Special mechanisms: Radical chain mechanisms

**Note correction in discussion on reaction mechanisms: the net reaction should be 2A + B → C NOT A + B → C
