Outcome 1
Solve simple and complex (coupled or sequential) kin etic expressions to obtain rate constants, reaction lifetimes, and activation energies, for gas, liquid, surface, and catalyzed reactions.
Outcome 2
Use statistical reaction theories, including transition state theory and RRKM, to both predict and interpret chemical reaction rates.
Outcome 3
Interpret the results of experiments that measure dynamic processes, such as cross-molecular beam experiments.
Outcome 4
Use the concepts of detailed balance and microscopic reversibility to connect the results of experiments that measure dynamic processes to experiments that obtain kinetic results.
Outcome 5
Calculate the potential energy surface (PES) for a simple chemical reaction, explain the relationship between the PES and the outcomes of a chemical reaction including how different types of energy influence the reaction given the PES.
