Half-Life of a Reaction
Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis
s
The time required for the concentration of a reactant to fall to half its initial value.
t½ = 0.693 / k (first order)
Heterogeneous Catalysis
Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis
Dimensionless
Catalysis in which the catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants, usually a solid with gaseous or liquid reagents.
Homogeneous Catalysis
Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis
Dimensionless
Catalysis in which the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants.
