Lessons and Exercises in Chemical Kinetics

This book, prepared by Dr. Abdelkader Benmenine and Dr. Razika Meccheri, provides a comprehensive guide to the fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics. It is designed to equip students with the necessary foundational knowledge for studying the kinetics of chemical processes. The manuscript covers both elementary notions of formal kinetics and the mathematical principles underlying the rate of chemical reactions and their evolution over time. Key topics include the factors influencing reaction speed, methods for determining reaction order, kinetics of simple and complex reactions, and a series of corrected exercises to reinforce understanding. The authors have included examples to illustrate kinetic calculations clearly and simply. This book is an invaluable resource for students aiming to grasp certain aspects of chemistry and is presented in a manner that facilitates a deep understanding of chemical kinetics. The authors also invite readers to share feedback and criticisms to enhance future editions.
