    The document defines key terms related to chemical kinetics including reaction rate, reaction order, molecularity, and apparent zero-order kinetics. Reaction rate is the change in concentration of reactants or products over time. Reaction order describes the relationship between species concentrations and reaction rate. Molecularity refers to the number of molecules or ions reacting in elementary processes, which can be unimolecular, bimolecular, or termolecular. Complex reactions proceed through multiple steps.

    Chemical Kinetics

    Definition of terms:

    Reaction rate
    It is the measure of the change in concentration of the reactants or the change in
    concentration of the products per unit time.

    1 d[A] 1 d [B]
    a dt
    = b dt
    = k [ A ]a [B ]b

    d [CH 3 COOC 2 H 5]
    Rate = dt
    d [NaOH ]
    = - dt
    = k[CH3COOC2H5]^1 [NaOH]^1

    Reaction order
    It is the relationship between the concentrations of species and the rate of a reaction.
    a b
    k [ A ] [B ]

    Rate = d[(CH3CO)2O1 [C2H5OH]^2

    Molecularity
    A reaction whose overall order is measured can be considered to occur through
    several steps or elementary reactions.
    Simplified term: It is the number of molecules, atoms, or ions reacting in an
    elementary process.

    Unimolecular- It is because the single molecule, Br2 decomposes to form two


    bromine atoms. In the single-step reaction.

    Br2 -> 2Br

    Bimolecular - It is because two molecules, one of H2 and one of I2, must come
    together to form the product HI.

    H2 + I2 -> 2HI

    Termolecular - reactions , that is. Processes in which three molecules must come
    together simultaneously, are rare.

    Complex reactions - Proceed throught more than one step

    2NO -> N2O2


    Apparent Zero-Order Kinetics
    It describe reactions and processes where the rate and half- life are
    independent of the reactants’ concentration.
