  2. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    A reaction can also have an undefined reaction order with respect to a reactant if the rate is not simply proportional to some power of the concentration of that reactant; for example, one cannot talk about reaction order in the rate equation for a bimolecular reaction between adsorbed molecules:

  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. 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 ...

  5. Continuous stirred-tank reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_stirred-tank...

    n th-order reaction (r = kC A n), where k is the reaction rate constant, C A is the concentration of species A, and n is the order of the reaction; isothermal conditions, or constant temperature (k is constant) single, irreversible reaction (ν A = −1) All reactant A is converted to products via chemical reaction; N A = C A V

  6. Molecularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecularity

    The kinetic order of any elementary reaction or reaction step is equal to its molecularity, and the rate equation of an elementary reaction can therefore be determined by inspection, from the molecularity. [1] The kinetic order of a complex (multistep) reaction, however, is not necessarily equal to the number of molecules involved.

  7. Reactions on surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_on_surfaces

    The reaction order is 1 with respect to B and −1 with respect to A. Reactant A inhibits the reaction at all concentrations. The following reactions follow a Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism: [4] 2 CO + O 2 → 2 CO 2 on a platinum catalyst. CO + 2H 2 → CH 3 OH on a ZnO catalyst. C 2 H 4 + H 2 → C 2 H 6 on a copper catalyst. N 2 O + H 2 ...

  8. Law of mass action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_mass_action

    However, all reactions can be represented as a series of elementary reactions and, if the mechanism is known in detail, the rate equation for each individual step is given by the expression so that the overall rate equation can be derived from the individual steps. When this is done the equilibrium constant is obtained correctly from the rate ...

  9. Petersen matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petersen_matrix

    The Petersen matrix is a comprehensive description of systems of biochemical reactions used to model reactors for pollution control (engineered decomposition) as well as in environmental systems. It has as many columns as the number of relevant involved components ( chemicals , pollutants , biomasses , gases ) and as many rows as the number of ...
