Offered:
Clayton Second semester 2004 (Day)
Clayton Second semester 2005 (Day)
Synopsis:
Objectives: At completion of this unit, students should be able to: · demonstrate a fundamental understanding of the key concepts of chemical kinetics · perform calculations involving first and second order and Michaelis-Menten rate equations, and determine the rate order of a reaction, · describe the nature and behaviour of colloids and surfaces · discuss the phenomena of adsorption, and competently use the mathematics associated with adsorption behaviour · describe the principles of molecular and atomic spectroscopy, and surface and X-ray analysis · provide examples of common analytical applications of these spectroscopic techniques · communicate the key features of these chemical principles both verbally and in writing · demonstrate competency in commonly used chemical laboratory techniques. · perform and analyse experiments involving aspects of chemical kinetics, applied spectroscopy and surface and colloid chemistry.
