Definition of a reaction rate

Reaction Orders, Integrated and Differential Rate laws

Quantifying reaction rates with differential equations and integral calculus. The definition of the rate is very different from the specific rate law that describes the reaction. You need to combine both to get a meaningful description of the system at hand.

• Reaction Order (definition)
• Zero-order reactions
• First-order reactions
• Half-lives and Pharmacokinetics
• Second-order reactions

Temperature Dependence of Reaction Rates

• Arrhenius equation
• Pre-exponential factor
• Pre-exponential factor 2
• Activation energy
• Arrhenius plot
• Potential Energy Profile

Experimental determination of Reaction Rates

Now you can quantify reaction rates, how do you measure them in the laboratory?

• Spectrophotometry
• Ultrasonic absorption
• Stopped Flow
• Continuous Flow
• Relaxation Methods
  • Electric Field Jump
  • Temperature Jump
  • Pressure Jump
  • Flash photolysis
