Sentences with phrase «elementary reactions steps»

Szanyi «s main research interests are in surface chemistry and catalysis; in particular the understanding of elementary reactions steps on model and real catalytic systems using a variety of spectroscopic techniques (primarily FTIR).

Not exact matches

The detailed sequence of elementary steps (about twenty) which must be involved in the B - Z reaction has been worked out by Richard Noyes.11 This mechanism (called «the Oregonator» in honor of the location of Noyes's laboratory) is well understood and involves nothing but ordinary chemistry, but it is too involved to discuss here.

An elementary step that will be important for our purposes involves the reaction of one molecule, called Y, with two molecules of another kind, denoted X. To the extent that this reaction is elementary, the reaction velocity doubles as the concentration of Y doubles, but increases by a factor of four if the concentration of X doubles.

All real reactions are composed of many elementary steps, and the equations which tell how rate varies with concentration for real reactions are more or less complicated algebraic combinations of the simple equations which apply to the several elementary steps.

Using theory, modern surface - science methods, and synchrotron - based techniques, JCAP researchers seek to understand the reaction pathways and the elementary steps of the hydrogen and oxygen evolutions reactions to facilitate the design of new, Earth - abundant catalysts for solar - fuels production.
