Effects of transport processes cannot be ignored in investigations aimed at more fundamental aspects of kinetics and catalysis. The interaction of chemical and physical processes was noticed a long time ago. M. V. Lomonosov mentioned in 1745 ... 

This chapter takes up three aspects of kinetics relating to reaction schemes with intermediates. In the first, several schemes for reactions that proceed by two or more steps are presented, with the initial emphasis being on those whose differential rate equations can be solved exactly. This solution gives mathematically rigorous expressions for the concentration-time dependences. The second situation consists of the group referred to before, in which an approximate solution—the steady-state or some other—is valid within acceptable limits. The third and most general situation is the one in which the family of simultaneous differential rate equations for a complex, multistep reaction...

In this introductory chapter, we first consider what chemical kinetics and chemical reaction engineering (CRE) are about, and how they are interrelated. We then introduce some important aspects of kinetics and CRE, including the involvement of chemical stoichiometry, thermodynamics and equilibrium, and various other rate processes. Since the rate of reaction is of primary importance, we must pay attention to how it is defined, measured, and represented, and to the parameters that affect it. We also introduce some of the main considerations in reactor design, and parameters affecting reactor performance. These considerations lead to a plan of treatment for the following chapters. 

Nevertheless, equilibrium can be an important aspect of kinetics, because it imposes limits on the extent of chemical change, and considerable use is made of thermodynamics as we proceed. 

The dynamics and mechanism of nucleophilic displacements involving ions in the gas phase have been reviewed. The article covers aspects of kinetics (especially the... 

Advances in the chemistry of [M(CN)5L]" complexes, for M = Fe, Ru, and Os, have been reviewed.There has been rather little activity in the preparation of novel complexes, but considerable activity in studying the properties, especially solvatochromism and various aspects of kinetics of substitution, of known complexes. However there has been an attempted preparation of [Fe(CN)5(Ci2H25NH2)], in the hope of generating micelles or lyotropic liquid crystals. This preparation appeared to yield [Fe(CN)4(H20)(Ci2H25NH2)], whose alkali metal salts gave a hexagonal mesophase in water, but were also readily hydrolyzed to [Fe(CN)4(H20)2] . Heterobinuclear complexes of the form [(NC)5FeL ML 5] " " have been much studied, especially in relation to intramolecular electron transfer (see Section 5.4.2.2.5). 

In this chapter, the essential aspects of kinetics of heterogeneous reactions (nucleation, interface reaction, and mass/heat transfer) are first presented. Then one class of heterogeneous reactions, the dissolution and growth of crystals, bubbles, and droplets, is elaborated in great detail. Some other heterogeneous reactions are then discussed with examples. Many complex problems in heterogeneous reactions remain to be solved.

This reaction is important in its own right, but it is also important in showing that all aspects of kinetics must be at one s fingertips when interpreting the kinetic data and proposing a mechanism. To understand the arguments leading to the interpretation of the data for this reaction it is essential that the basics of unimolecular theory, Section 4.5, are understood. It is also essential that, when a predicted rate expression... 

The aspects of kinetics of a reaction between a microcomponent with a macrocomponent, are much simpler. As there is no consumption of the macrocomponent, kinetics appears of the pseudo first order with respect to the microcomponent [2,8]. The rate of the reaction of species E containing the microcomponent with macrocomponent Mi, M2,... takes the form ... 

The work is divided into several parts. Part A in Sec. II briefly sets out the relevant aspects of the RRKM formulation14 for unimolecular reactions. Rather than repeat the derivation of the equations, emphasis is placed upon the present status of the theory, and the best techniques for carrying out computations simply. In Sec. II-B, characteristics of various model hydrocarbon-type molecular species are outlined and are used in Sec. II-C for theoretical calculations that illustrate various aspects of the theory. Some related aspects of kinetic isotope effects are... 

One may immediately imagine further subdividing the last type of variability. For example, one might wish to distinguish intraindividual variability due to different aspects of kinetics and separate all such variability from that due to measurement error. The problem with so doing is only that most data are insufficiently detailed and complete to allow these components of variance to be estimated separately. The two-way division we have proposed appears to suffice for most applications and data sets. 

In the present text we shall begin with a study of the phenomenological aspects of kinetic systems and then proceed to a critique of the bases for a molecular interpretation of the processes in these systems.

In this chapter the aspects of kinetic model selection/discrimination and parameter estimation and the experimental acquisition of kinetic data are not dealt with, since they fall outside its scope. Moreover, in interpreting the observed temperature dependence of the rate coefficients in this chapter we are assumed to be dealing with intrinsic kinetic data. As will be shown in Chapter 8, parasitic phenomena of mass and heat transfer may interfere, disguising the intrinsic kinetics. Criteria will be presented there to avoid this experimental problem. 

The demonstration that yield-time data for a particular rate process are satisfactorily represented by a rate equation from the set in Table 3.3. is a usefiil initial result (as in all kinetic analyses), but formulation of a reaction model requires more support than a statistical comparison with the fit of the same data to other rate equations. Some important aspects of kinetic analysis are summarized below. 

At least three major interrelated aspects of kinetic behaviom are important in investigating dehydration reactions, (i) Kinetic equations based upon nucleation and growth models have been developed and found application to a wide range of reactants [31], (ii) Theoretical explanations of the magnitudes of calculated Arrhenius parameters have been proposed, (iii) The influence of water vapour pressure on reaction rates has been investigated in detail (the Smith-Topley effect). Topics (ii) and (iii) are expanded below,...
