The course offers a more advanced on kinetic concepts related to chemical processes with an emphasis on how mechanistic proposals arise from measurements. Topics to be discussed will include: molecularity of elementary reactions, determination of reaction order, experimental rate law, steady-state approximation, pseudo first order reactions, complex reactions (parallel, series, consecutive and reversible reactions), collision theory, and transition state theory. It will also introduce students to reactor designs (batch and continuous reactors), and heterogeneous catalysis (acid-base catalysis and enzymatic catalysis). Prerequisite: CHE 203
