How is chemical kinetics different from chemical thermodynamics?
How is chemical kinetics different from chemical thermodynamics?
- It involves mathematical modeling, while thermodynamics involves experimental conditions
- It deals with reaction rates, while thermodynamics deals with reaction direction (correct)
- It focuses on reaction mechanisms, while thermodynamics focuses on reaction equilibrium
- It studies the speed of reactions, while thermodynamics studies energy changes
