  2. Annual percentage rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_percentage_rate

    0.7974% effective monthly interest rate, because 1.007974 12 =1.1; 9.569% annual interest rate compounded monthly, because 12×0.7974=9.569; 9.091% annual rate in advance, because (1.1-1)÷1.1=0.09091; These rates are all equivalent, but to a consumer who is not trained in the mathematics of finance, this can be confusing. APR helps to ...

  3. Exponential decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay

    A quantity is subject to exponential decay if it decreases at a rate proportional to its current value. Symbolically, this process can be expressed by the following differential equation , where N is the quantity and λ ( lambda ) is a positive rate called the exponential decay constant , disintegration constant , [ 1 ] rate constant , [ 2 ] or ...

  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. Flat rate (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_rate_(finance)

    In accounting and finance, flat interest rate mortgages and loans calculate interest based on the amount of money a borrower receives at the beginning of the loan. However, if repayment is scheduled to occur at regular intervals throughout the term, the average amount to which the borrower has access is lower and so the effective or true rate ...

  6. Nernst equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst_equation

    In electrochemistry, the Nernst equation is a chemical thermodynamical relationship that permits the calculation of the reduction potential of a reaction (half-cell or full cell reaction) from the standard electrode potential, absolute temperature, the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, and activities (often approximated by concentrations) of the chemical species undergoing ...

  7. Real interest rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_interest_rate

    The real interest rate on short term loans is strongly influenced by the monetary policy of central banks. The real interest rate on longer term bonds tends to be more market driven, and in recent decades, with globalized financial markets, the real interest rates in the industrialized countries have become increasingly correlated.

  8. Turnover number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnover_number

    In chemistry, the term "turnover number" has two distinct meanings.. In enzymology, the turnover number (k cat) is defined as the limiting number of chemical conversions of substrate molecules per second that a single active site will execute for a given enzyme concentration [E T] for enzymes with two or more active sites.

  9. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    Thus, to calculate the stoichiometry by mass, the number of molecules required for each reactant is expressed in moles and multiplied by the molar mass of each to give the mass of each reactant per mole of reaction. The mass ratios can be calculated by dividing each by the total in the whole reaction.
