Abstract

We present the main concepts of nonlinear dynamics and thermodynamics of irreversible processes to introduce chemistry students to the topic of self-organized phenomena. This task is performed by theoretically describing the emergence of self-sustained oscillations, waves, and stationary patterns/Turing patterns in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, through the Oregonator model. We carefully developed such a description, which resulted in long algebraic deductions and rich supplementary material. Considering that, we encourage the use of this material in undergraduate and graduate advanced physical chemistry classes.
