Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

In this exercise students will review some applications of an important industrial chemical. From this review it will become obvious why understanding basic physical and chemical parameters of chemical species are important. Students will also use existing experimental data, involving the decomposition of ozone to form oxygen, to determine reaction order and rate constant. Students will perform the calculations and graphing components of the exercise in a spreadsheet advancing their computational capabilities.
