  2. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    For zero-order reactions, the reaction rate is independent of the concentration of a reactant, so that changing its concentration has no effect on the rate of the reaction. Thus, the concentration changes linearly with time. The rate law for zero order reaction is [] = [] =,

  3. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates.The equation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, based on the work of Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff who had noted in 1884 that the Van 't Hoff equation for the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants suggests such a formula for the rates of both forward and ...

  4. Michaelis–Menten kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaelis–Menten_kinetics

    However at higher , with , the reaction approaches independence of (zero-order kinetics in ), [15] asymptotically approaching the limiting rate =. This rate, which is never attained, refers to the hypothetical case in which all enzyme molecules are bound to substrate.

  5. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    In fact, however, the observed reaction rate is second-order in NO 2 and zero-order in CO, [5] with rate equation r = k[NO 2] 2. This suggests that the rate is determined by a step in which two NO 2 molecules react, with the CO molecule entering at another, faster, step. A possible mechanism in two elementary steps that explains the rate ...

  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. Zero order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_order

    Zero order reaction. Zero-order process (statistics), a sequence of random variables, each independent of the previous ones; Zero order process (chemistry), a chemical reaction in which the rate of change of concentration is independent of the concentrations; Zeroth-order approximation, an approximation of a function by a constant

  8. Reactions on surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_on_surfaces

    If a reaction occurs through these steps: A + S ⇌ AS → Products. where A is the reactant and S is an adsorption site on the surface and the respective rate constants for the adsorption, desorption and reaction are k 1, k −1 and k 2, then the global reaction rate is:

  9. Steady state (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state_(chemistry)

    The steady state approximation, [1] occasionally called the stationary-state approximation or Bodenstein's quasi-steady state approximation, involves setting the rate of change of a reaction intermediate in a reaction mechanism equal to zero so that the kinetic equations can be simplified by setting the rate of formation of the intermediate equal to the rate of its destruction.
