Study Notes
Chemical Kinetics
- The rate of reaction is influenced by the factor that changes the concentration of a reactant or a product with time.
- The term 'kinetic' in the context of chemical kinetics suggests the study of motion or movement of reactants and products during a reaction.
Definition and Scope
- Chemical kinetics refers to the study of the rates of chemical reactions, including the factors that influence these rates.
Reaction Order
- Reactions can be differentiated based on their order, which is the power to which the concentration of a reactant is raised in the rate equation.
Catalysts
- A catalyst can affect the reaction rate by increasing it, without being consumed or altered in the process.
