- Rate of reaction
- The change in concentration of a reactanat or product per unit of time.
- Order, M
- The order with respect to a reactant is the power to which the concentration of the reactant is raised in the rate equation.
- Rate constant, K
- The constant that links the rate of reaction with the concentrations of the reactants raised to the powers of their orders in the rate equation.
- Rate Equation
- A+B->Products - rate = K[A]^m [B]^n
- Half Life
- Time taken for the concentration of the reactant to reduce by half.
- Rate Determining step
- The slowest step in the reaction mechanism of a multi-step reaction.
- Rate of reaction
