  2. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate_constant

    where A and B are reactants C is a product a, b, and c are stoichiometric coefficients,. the reaction rate is often found to have the form: = [] [] Here ⁠ ⁠ is the reaction rate constant that depends on temperature, and [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of substances A and B in moles per unit volume of solution, assuming the reaction is taking place throughout the volume of the ...

  3. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    In chemistry, the rate equation (also known as the rate law or empirical differential rate equation) is an empirical differential mathematical expression for the reaction rate of a given reaction in terms of concentrations of chemical species and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial orders of reaction) only. [1]

  4. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    That is, r −1 ≪ r 2, so that r 1 − r 2 ≈ 0. But the overall rate of reaction is the rate of formation of final product (here CO 2), so that r = r 2 ≈ r 1. That is, the overall rate is determined by the rate of the first step, and (almost) all molecules that react at the first step continue to the fast second step.

  5. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    This has the same form as an equation for a straight line: = +, where x is the reciprocal of T. So, when a reaction has a rate constant obeying the Arrhenius equation, a plot of ln k versus T −1 gives a straight line, whose slope and intercept can be used to determine E a and A respectively. This procedure is common in experimental chemical ...

  6. Chemical kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_kinetics

    Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It is different from chemical thermodynamics, which deals with the direction in which a reaction occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rate.

  7. Brønsted catalysis equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brønsted_catalysis_equation

    A plot of the common logarithm of the reaction rate constant k versus the logarithm of the ionization constant K a for a series of acids (for example a group of substituted phenols or carboxylic acids) gives a straight line with slope α and intercept C. The Brønsted equation is a free-energy relationship.

  8. Ketone halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_halogenation

    Reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetone while in the presence of acetic acid. Basic (in aqueous NaOH): Reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetone while in the presence of aqueous NaOH. In acidic solution, usually only one alpha hydrogen is replaced by a halogen, as each successive halogenation is slower than the first.

  9. Diffusion-controlled reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion-controlled_reaction

    Diffusion-controlled (or diffusion-limited) reactions are reactions in which the reaction rate is equal to the rate of transport of the reactants through the reaction medium (usually a solution). [1] The process of chemical reaction can be considered as involving the diffusion of reactants until they encounter each other in the right ...
