Main description:

Calculations in Chemical Kinetics for Undergraduates aims to restore passion for problem solving and applied quantitative skills in undergraduate chemistry students. Avoiding complicated chemistry jargon and providing hints and step wise explanations in every calculation problem, students are able to overcome their fear of handling mathematically applied problems in physical chemistry. This solid foundation in their early studies will enable them to connect fundamental theoretical chemistry to real experimental applications as graduates.

Additional Features Include:

Contains quantitative problems from popular physical chemistry references.

Provides step by step explanations are given in every calculation problem.

Offers hints to certain problems as "points to note" to enable student comprehension.

Includes solutions for all questions and exercises.

This book is a great resource for undergraduate chemistry students however, the contents are rich and useful to even the graduate chemist that has passion for applied problems in physical chemistry of reaction Kinetics.
