Chemical Kinetics

1. Refer to study of

   • Rates of chemical reactions
     • reaction rate
     • is proportional to
       • increase in concentration of a product per unit time
       • decrease in a concentration of reactant per unit time
   • mechanisms by which chemical reacton occur
     • is the pathway by which the reaction occurs
   • effective collisions
   • Fators affecting reactions rates
     • Concentration of reactants
       • Efecto de la concentración en la velocidad de reacción
