This manual of solutions to the problems in "Kinetics of Catalytic Reactions" has been prepared to assist those who use this book in a teaching function. However, these solutions should also benefit those outside the classroom who want to apply the principles and concepts that are discussed in the book. By studying and observing the approaches used in solving these problems, it is very likely that similar applications can be envisioned in different kinetic problems that the investigator might face. Thus the availability ofthese solutions is a good learning tool for everyone. Additional details and insight about the solutions provided can be obtained by reading the cited references. I have tried to eliminate all errors, both conceptual and typographical, in these solutions; however, the probability is high that I have not succeeded completely. Should any errors of commission (or omission) be found, I would greatly appreciate being informed.
