Chemical Kinetics

The study of rates of chemical reactions is called chemical kinetics.
Units of concentration are usually expressed in moles per liter (mol/L), also known as molarity (M).
A balanced chemical equation provides information about the stoichiometry of a reaction, which refers to the relative amounts of reactants and products involved. It tells us the number of moles of each reactant and product that are involved in the reaction.
Units of time are usually expressed in seconds (s) when measuring the rate of a reaction.
Studying the rates of chemical reactions allows deductions about the mechanism of a reaction, which is the step-by-step process by which the reaction occurs.
Chemical kinetics allows us to deduce the mechanism of a reaction.
Rate experiments can provide information about the order of the reaction, which refers to the power to which the concentration of each reactant is raised in the rate law and the molecularity of each elementary step in the mechanism.
The balanced chemical equation does not provide information about the rate of a reaction.
Concentration is typically expressed in moles per liter (mol/L).
Time is typically expressed as seconds (s).
