Module 6 : Reaction Kinetics and Dynamics
Lecture 27 : Experimental methods in chemical kinetics
 
  Objectives
  After studying this Lecture you will be able to do the following:
Outline the physical and chemical (experimental) methods for determining the concentrations of the species
  participating in chemical reactions.
   

Use optical rotation to study the evolution of a reaction when one or more of the reacting species are optically

  active.
   
Use the conductivity of the reaction mixture to obtain the concentration of the reactants / products.
   
Outline the techniques of flash photolysis.
   
Describe the techniques of laser induced fluorescence. Outline the techniques involved in time resolved
  spectroscopy to study chemical dynamics.
   
Relate the relaxation times obtained in relaxation methods to rate constants.
