Chemical kinetics
In physical chemistry, chemical kinetics or reaction kinetics study reaction rates in a chemical reaction. Analysing the influence of different reaction conditions on the reaction rate gives information about the reaction mechanism of a chemical reaction.
Kinetics deal with
- experimental determination of reaction rates
- deriving a rate law and reaction rate constants
- The factors that influence a reaction rate.
- homogeneous or heterogeneous environment.
