Document Summary
Chemical kinetics involves the study of any factors that would have an effect on how reactions progress and their underlying mechanisms. The range of the field of chemical kinetics branches out to all sorts of studies particularly in the drug industry where the rate of reaction has to be precise in order for use in medicine. One particular aspect of chemical kinetics is the affect concentration has on chemical reaction rate also known as order of reactioni. One is able to determine the rate of a chemical reaction based on the rate equationi: The rate equation is based on the fact that rate is proportional the concentration of the reactants raised to a certain power. The power in which the reactants are raised to is the order of reaction and signifies how important that species is in determining the overall rate of reaction.
