Gas-Phase Chemical Kinetics

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter is concerned with basic aspects of chemical reactions in the gas phase. Rate data for homogeneous gaseous reactions are given in Chapter 10. Heterogeneous kinetics are discussed in Chapter 9, while applications are treated in Part IV.
