Chemical kinetics
is the study and discussion of chemical
reactions with respect to reaction rates, effect of various
variables, re-arrangement of atoms, formation of
intermediates etc..
1.Nature of Reactants
A rate law is an equation that tells us how fast the reaction proceeds
and how the reaction rate depends on the concentrations of the
chemical species involved
1. First Order Reactions
In a first order reaction the rate is proportional to the
concentration of one of the reactants.
