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 ...
where: k 1 is the rate coefficient for the reaction that consumes A and B; k −1 is the rate coefficient for the backwards reaction, which consumes P and Q and produces A and B. The constants k 1 and k −1 are related to the equilibrium coefficient for the reaction (K) by the following relationship (set v=0 in balance):
k is the rate constant (frequency of collisions resulting in a reaction), T is the absolute temperature, A is the pre-exponential factor or Arrhenius factor or frequency factor. Arrhenius originally considered A to be a temperature-independent constant for each chemical reaction. [6]
In consequence, the reaction rate constant increases rapidly with temperature , as shown in the direct plot of against . (Mathematically, at very high temperatures so that E a ≪ R T {\displaystyle E_{\text{a}}\ll RT} , k {\displaystyle k} would level off and approach A {\displaystyle A} as a limit, but this case does not occur under practical ...
The apparent unimolecular rate constant k cat is also called turnover number, and denotes the maximum number of enzymatic reactions catalysed per second. The Michaelis–Menten equation [10] describes how the (initial) reaction rate v 0 depends on the position of the substrate-binding equilibrium and the rate constant k 2.
k is the rate constant for the electrode reaction in s −1, F is the Faraday constant, C is the reactive species concentration at the electrode surface in mol/m 2, the plus sign under the exponent refers to an anodic reaction, and a minus sign to a cathodic reaction, R is the universal gas constant.
The Van 't Hoff equation relates the change in the equilibrium constant, K eq, of a chemical reaction to the change in temperature, T, given the standard enthalpy change, Δ r H ⊖, for the process. The subscript r {\displaystyle r} means "reaction" and the superscript ⊖ {\displaystyle \ominus } means "standard".
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.
