This subject is part of the Advanced Physical Chemistry Matter corresponding to Module I of this Master. The objective of the subject is to profound in the previously acquired knowledge of Chemical Kinetics in the Chemistry Degree, particularly in those that refer to the kinetics of fast reactions and experimental techniques that are currently used in the field of research for your study. Chemical Kinetics is one of the most active research areas in Physical Chemistry in both in homogeneous phase (solution or gas) and heterogeneous phase (gas-solid, gas-liquid and solid-liquid). The Kinetics of chemical reactions has great importance in industrial synthesis. Some of the applications of the kinetic study of fast reactions are the elucidation of the mechanisms and the rate of degradation of atmospheric pollutants, in the control of drugs and foods, in catalysis, etc.
