Kinetics definitions

The RATE CONSTANT is a constant of proportionality that links the reaction rate to the concentrations of the reagents that actually affect the rate. The concentration terms in the rate equation may be raised to various indices called ORDERS. The...

Rate equations..so what?

The purpose behind kinetics experiments is often to determine the form of the rate equation; that is, an expression that links rate to the concentrations of those reagents that actually AFFECT the rate. This need not be immediately apparent from...

Rate equations

The purpose behind so many kinetics experiments is to collect data that will enable the rate equation to be written. To do so it is essential that the concentration of only ONE component is allowed to change in each experiment....
