Chemical Kinetics
Thermodynamics does a reaction take
place? Kinetics how does a reaction proceed
(reaction mechanism) and how fast (reaction rate).
Reaction rate is the change in the concentration
of a reactant or a product with time (Units
mol/L?s).
DR change in reactants over a time period
Dt
DP change in products over a time period Dt
Because R decreases with time, DR is
negative.
