  2. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    As an example, consider the gas-phase reaction NO 2 + CO → NO + CO 2.If this reaction occurred in a single step, its reaction rate (r) would be proportional to the rate of collisions between NO 2 and CO molecules: r = k[NO 2][CO], where k is the reaction rate constant, and square brackets indicate a molar concentration.

  3. Observational error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_error

    Some errors are not clearly random or systematic such as the uncertainty in the calibration of an instrument. [4] Random errors or statistical errors in measurement lead to measurable values being inconsistent between repeated measurements of a constant attribute or quantity are taken. Random errors create measurement uncertainty.

  4. Limiting reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_reagent

    The limiting reagent must be identified in order to calculate the percentage yield of a reaction since the theoretical yield is defined as the amount of product obtained when the limiting reagent reacts completely.

  5. Thermodynamic limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_limit

    The thermodynamic limit is essentially a consequence of the central limit theorem of probability theory. The internal energy of a gas of N molecules is the sum of order N contributions, each of which is approximately independent, and so the central limit theorem predicts that the ratio of the size of the fluctuations to the mean is of order 1/N 1/2.

  6. Diffusion-controlled reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion-controlled_reaction

    Suppose is very large compared to the diffusion process, so A and B react immediately. This is the classic diffusion limited reaction, and the corresponding diffusion limited rate constant, can be obtained from 8 as =.

  7. Pauling's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_rules

    For typical ionic solids, the cations are smaller than the anions, and each cation is surrounded by coordinated anions which form a polyhedron.The sum of the ionic radii determines the cation-anion distance, while the cation-anion radius ratio + / (or /) determines the coordination number (C.N.) of the cation, as well as the shape of the coordinated polyhedron of anions.

  8. Ion suppression in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_suppression_in_liquid...

    Ion suppression in LC-MS and LC-MS/MS refers to reduced detector response, or signal:noise as a manifested effect of competition for ionisation efficiency in the ionisation source, between the analyte(s) of interest and other endogenous or exogenous (e.g. plasticisers extracted from plastic tubes, [1] mobile phase additives) species which have not been removed from the sample matrix during ...

  9. Oxygen reduction reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_reduction_reaction

    In the mean time, the porous structure or the defect will also be beneficial to the oxygen absorption process. [ 7 ] Besides active site density, the electron configuration of M center in M-N 4 active site also plays an important role in the activity and stability of an oxygen reduction reaction catalyst.
