Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Arrhenius Equation In this article, we shall study the factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction and the Arrhenius equation. Factors Affecting the Rate Of Reaction: The Concentration of Reactants: The number of collisions and hence the activated collisions between the reactant molecules increase with the increase […]

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Collision Theory The occurrence of a bimolecular chemical reaction can be explained on the basis of collision theory. The Collision of Reacting Molecules: Consider a bimolecular general reaction A  + B  →   C In order for a chemical reaction to take place, the molecules of reactants A and […]

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Molecularity of Reaction and Catalysis In this article, we shall study the molecularity of reaction and catalysis. The Concept of Elementary Reactions: Many reactions that follow a simple rate law are actually taking place in series of steps. These reactions are called complex reactions. Each step in a […]

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Rate of Zero Order Reaction In this article, we shall study the analytical treatment to the zero-order reaction, and the rate of zero-order reaction. Order of Reaction: The overall order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the exponents to which the concentration terms in the […]

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Rate of First Order Reaction In this article, we shall study the order of reaction and the analytical treatment to the first-order reaction, and the rate of the first-order reaction. Order of Reaction: The overall order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the exponents to […]
