DEFINITIONS/ DESCRIPTION |
| Chemical Thermodynamics and reaction kinematics |
Chemical thermodynamics can be generally thought of as the application of mathematical methods to the study of chemical questions and is concerned with the spontaneity of processes. Reaction kinetics, is the study of rates of chemical processes Applications : • The mathematical models that describe chemical reaction kinetics provide chemists and chemical engineers with tools to better understand and describe chemical processes • The mathematical models can be used to study the interrelation of heat and work with chemical reactions |
| Solid state Chemistry and Physics | Solid-state chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure, and physical properties of solid materials. It therefore has a strong overlap with solid-state physics which is the study of rigid matter, or solids. |
