Document Summary
Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates of chemical reactions. The rate of a chemical reaction is measured as the change in concentration of a reactant or product (which must be specified) per unit of time. The average rate over a given time duration and the instantaneous rate at any moment must be distinguished. The concept of reaction rate - decomposition of n2o5 . Conditions that affect the rate of a reaction. The rate of a given reaction can be increased by. An increase in surface area, if the reactant is solid. For a reaction of the general form: aa + bb xx. The dependence of reaction rate on the concentrations of reactants is expressed by a rate equation of the form. The values of the exponents m and n are not necessarily the same as the stoichiometric coefficients, and can only be determined experimentally.
