  2. Chemical decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_decomposition

    The following equation is an example, where M represents the given metal: MCO 3 → MO + CO 2. A specific example is that involving calcium carbonate: CaCO 3 → CaO + CO 2. Metal chlorates also decompose when heated. In this type of decomposition reaction, a metal chloride and oxygen gas are the products.

  3. Decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition

    The decomposition of food, either plant or animal, called spoilage in this context, is an important field of study within food science. Food decomposition can be slowed down by conservation. The spoilage of meat occurs, if the meat is untreated, in a matter of hours or days and results in the meat becoming unappetizing, poisonous or infectious.

  4. 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]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_on_surfaces

    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: = = where: r is the rate, mol·m −2 ·s −1

    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 ...

  8. Microbiology of decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiology_of_decomposition

    Decomposition microbiology can be divided into two fields of interest, namely the decomposition of plant materials and the decomposition of cadavers and carcasses. The decomposition of plant materials is commonly studied in order to understand the cycling of carbon within a given environment and to understand the subsequent impacts on soil ...

  9. Cahn–Hilliard equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahn–Hilliard_equation

    The Cahn–Hilliard equation (after John W. Cahn and John E. Hilliard) [1] is an equation of mathematical physics which describes the process of phase separation, spinodal decomposition, by which the two components of a binary fluid spontaneously separate and form domains pure in each component.
