Overview

This course aims to:1) Study and understand the kinetics, methods, and mechanics through which the reactions of inorganic compounds take place.2) Using the knowledge obtained from this course in the use of general logic as well as laws and theories to reach the paths and mechanics of reactions and predict the properties of materials.3) Learn the mathematical derivations that lead to deriving the reaction rate law and determining the reaction mechanism.4) Identify the theoretical background of the used laboratory methods, tools and devices. Track the course of a reaction to obtain numerical information that is mathematically analyzed and to determine the reaction law.
