Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis

Inhibitor

A substance that decreases the rate of a chemical reaction.

Dimensionless Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis

Initial Rate Method

A technique for determining reaction orders by measuring the starting rate in a series of experiments with different initial concentrations.

rate₂/rate₁ = ([A]₂/[A]₁)^m mol/(L·s) Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis

Instantaneous Rate

The rate of a reaction at one particular moment, given by the gradient of the concentration–time curve at that point.

rate = d[A]/dt mol/(L·s) Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis

Integrated Rate Law

The equation obtained by integrating a differential rate law, giving concentration directly as a function of time.

varies with order mol/L
