Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis
Dimensionless
A substance that decreases the rate of a chemical reaction.
Initial Rate Method
Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis
mol/(L·s)
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
Instantaneous Rate
Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis
mol/(L·s)
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
Integrated Rate Law
Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis
mol/L
The equation obtained by integrating a differential rate law, giving concentration directly as a function of time.
varies with order
