There is a large literature describing experimental methods for finding empirical rate expressions and analyzing rate data. Comprehensive treatments can be found in volume 8 of the Weissburger series [2] and in volume 1 of the Comprehensive Chemical Kinetics series [3]. In addition, almost every textbook on kinetics has material on this subject. See, for example, the texts by Espenson [4], Laidler [5], and Steinfeld et al [6]. This book is devoted to detailed chemical kinetic modeling of chemical reactions, and is concerned primarily with elementary reactions. 

This book is based on the series of chapters written by different authors and divided into 15 chapters, each one succinctly dealing with a specific chemical kinetics and reaction mechanisms. The contents are widely encompassing as possible for chemical kinetic research field. 

The rates of chemical processes and their variation with conditions have been studied for many years, usually for the purpose of determining reaction mechanisms. Thus, the subject of chemical kinetics is a very extensive and important part of chemistry as a whole, and has acquired an enormous literature. Despite the number of books and reviews, in many cases it is by no means easy to find the required information on specific reactions or types of reaction or on more general topics in the field. It is the purpose of this series to provide a background reference work, which will enable such information to be obtained either directly, or from the original papers or reviews quoted. 

The chemical composition of many systems can be expressed in terms of a single reaction progress variable. However, a chemical engineer must often consider systems that cannot be adequately described in terms of a single extent of reaction. This chapter is concerned with the development of the mathematical relationships that govern the behavior of such systems. It treats reversible reactions, parallel reactions, and series reactions, first in terms of the mathematical relations that govern the behavior of such systems and then in terms of the techniques that may be used to relate the kinetic parameters of the system to the phenomena observed in the laboratory.

As an analyst, if we were to perform a series of simple experiments to study the kinetics of bromine consumption, we would start the experiment (at a time we call t = 0) and then monitor the amount of bromine remaining as a function of time after t = 0. Probably the simplest way of monitoring this process would be to remove aliquots of reaction solution after various lengths of time, and titrate each of these, e.g. with thiosulfate, to determine the amount of bromine remaining in each sample. In effect, we say here that chemical kinetics is the study of the proportion of the matter that is initially present as a function of the reaction time-scale r. 

Pollutants emitted by various sources entered an air parcel moving with the wind in the model proposed by Eschenroeder and Martinez. Finite-difference solutions to the species-mass-balance equations described the pollutant chemical kinetics and the upward spread through a series of vertical cells. The initial chemical mechanism consisted of 7 species participating in 13 reactions based on sm< -chamber observations. Atmospheric dispersion data from the literature were introduced to provide vertical-diffusion coefficients. Initial validity tests were conducted for a static air mass over central Los Angeles on October 23, 1968, and during an episode late in 1%8 while a special mobile laboratory was set up by Scott Research Laboratories. Curves were plotted to illustrate sensitivity to rate and emission values, and the feasibility of this prediction technique was demonstrated. Some problems of the future were ultimately identified by this work, and the method developed has been applied to several environmental impact studies (see, for example, Wayne et al. ).

This volume is concerned with providing a modern account of the theory of rates of diffusion-controlled reactions in solution. A brief elementary discussion of this area appeared in Volume 2 of this series, which was published in 1969. Since then, the subject has undergone substantial development to the point where we consider it timely that a complete volume devoted to the field appears. Unlike previous volumes of Comprehensive Chemical Kinetics, Volume 25 has been written entirely by one author, Dr. Rice, and his view of the objectives and scope of the book are summarised in Chapter 1. 

One of the present authors has investigated the importance of the nature of the electrode/electrolyte interface for the yields and selectivities of some anodic electrosynthesis reactions. A series of four successive reviews reports on the gathered information and improved understanding of the chemical kinetics of reactive intermediates generated at the interface carbon elec-trode/nonaqueous solvent (208-212) and citations of detailed investigations therein. 

In the preceding chapters, the theory of elementary reactions was discussed. The chemical processes occurring in chemically reacting flows usually proceed by a series of elementary reactions, rather than by a single step. The collection of elementary reactions defining the chemical process is called the mechanism of the reaction. When rate constants are assigned to each of the elementary steps, a chemical kinetic model for the process has been developed. 

Deviation from standard chemical kinetics described in (Section 2.1.1) can happen only if the reaction rate K (t) reveals its own non-monotonous time dependence. Since K(t) is a functional of the correlation functions, it means that these functions have to possess their own motion, practically independent on the time development of concentrations. The correlation functions characterize the intermediate order in the particle distribution in a spatially-homogeneous system. Change of such an intermediate order could be interpreted as a series of structural transitions. 

In a long series of papers on the master equation, Pritchard and his coworkers elucidated for the first time the effects of rotational and vibrational disequilibrium on the dissociation and recombination of a dilute diatomic gas. Ultrasonic dispersion in a diatomic gas was analyzed by similar computational experiments, and the first example of the breakdown of the linear mixture rule in chemical kinetics was demonstrated. A major difficulty in these calculations is that the eigenvalue of the reaction matrix (corresponding to the rate constant) differs from the zero eigenvalue (required by species conservation) by less than... 

Similar to chemical kinetics, the mechanism of electrochemical reactions regularly requires a series of physical, chemical, and electrochemical steps, comprising charge-transfer and charge-transport reactions. The velocity of these individual steps controls the kinetics of the electrode reactions and, thus, of the cell reaction. In this sense, three diverse kinetics effects for polarization must be taken into account ... 

In chemical degradation kinetics and pharmacokinetics, the methods of eigenvalue and Laplace transform have been employed for complex systems, and a choice between two methods is up to the individual and dependent upon the algebraic steps required to obtain the final solution. The eigenvalue method and the Laplace transform method derive the general solution from various possible cases, and then the specific case is applied to the general solution. When the specific problem is complicated, the Laplace transform method is easy to use. The reversible and consecutive series reactions described in Section 5.6 can be easily solved by the Laplace transform method ... 

The problems of parametric estimation and model identification are among the most frequently encountered in experimental sciences and, thus, in chemical kinetics. Considerations about the statistical analysis of experimental results may be found in books on chemical kinetics and chemical reaction engineering [1—31], numerical methods [129—131, 133, 138], and pure and applied statistics [32, 33, 90, 91, 195—202]. The books by Kendall and Stuart [197] constitute a comprehensive treatise. A series of papers by Anderson [203] is of interest as an introductory survey to statistical methods in chemical engineering. Himmelblau et al. [204] have reviewed the methods for estimating the coefficients of ordinary differential equations which are linear in the...

One of the main goals of chemical kinetics is to understand the steps by which a reaction takes place. This series of steps is called the reaction mechanism. Understanding the mechanism allows us to find ways to facilitate the reaction. For example, the Haber process for the production of ammonia requires high temperatures to achieve commercially feasible reaction rates. However, even higher temperatures (and more cost) would be required without the use of iron oxide, which speeds up the reaction.
