  2. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    A common form for the rate equation is a power law: [6] = [] [] The constant ⁠ ⁠ is called the rate constant.The exponents, which can be fractional, [6] are called partial orders of reaction and their sum is the overall order of reaction.

  3. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates.The equation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, based on the work of Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff who had noted in 1884 that the van 't Hoff equation for the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants suggests such a formula for the rates of both forward and ...

  5. Michaelis–Menten kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaelis–Menten_kinetics

    The Michaelis constant is defined as the concentration of substrate at which the reaction rate is half of . [6] Biochemical reactions involving a single substrate are often assumed to follow Michaelis–Menten kinetics, without regard to the model's underlying assumptions.

  6. Zero order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_order

    Zero order reaction. Zero-order process (statistics), a sequence of random variables, each independent of the previous ones; Zero order process (chemistry), a chemical reaction in which the rate of change of concentration is independent of the concentrations; Zeroth-order approximation, an approximation of a function by a constant

  7. Chemical kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_kinetics

    Here is the reaction rate constant, is the molar concentration of reactant i and is the partial order of reaction for this reactant. The partial order for a reactant can only be determined experimentally and is often not indicated by its stoichiometric coefficient .

  8. Half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life

    In a chemical reaction, the half-life of a species is the time it takes for the concentration of that substance to fall to half of its initial value. In a first-order reaction the half-life of the reactant is ln(2)/λ, where λ (also denoted as k) is the reaction rate constant.

  9. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    In fact, however, the observed reaction rate is second-order in NO 2 and zero-order in CO, [5] with rate equation r = k[NO 2] 2. This suggests that the rate is determined by a step in which two NO 2 molecules react, with the CO molecule entering at another, faster, step. A possible mechanism in two elementary steps that explains the rate ...
