Document Summary
The chapters that are focused on were 14. 1-14. 2. The pathway or progress of the reaction affects the kinetics involved. The reaction progress covers from the initial state to the final state. The initial state involves the reactants and the final state uses the products. The rate of reaction determines how fast it occurs. The rate equation is affected by the rate equation. This all happens with mechanisms and they can be affected by other effects such as temperature and catalysts. To study a reaction rate we have to calculate how fast the reaction occurs, whether empirically or theoretically. Rate = the change in concentration of a specific reactant or product per unit time. Whether you use the reactants or products to measure the rate will entirely depend on what you"re monitoring. We use the molar ratio numbers to balance the concentration ratios. No2 / 2 = no / 2 = o2 / 1. = change in = final - initial.
