Chemical Kinetics
Kinetics comes from the Greek word “Kinesis” which means “Movement”
Definition: The branch of chemistry that studies reaction rates and their
mechanisms is called chemical kinetics.
Kinetics helps us to know,
• Rate of the reaction
• Conditions by which the reaction can be altered (concentration,
temperature, pressure)
,Chemical reactions
A major part of chemistry deals with chemical reactions. To study these reactions properly we s
know..
❑Feasibility of the reaction
• ∆G > 0 = nonspontaneous, ∆G < 0 = spontaneous, ∆G = 0 (equilibrium condition)
❑ The extent to which the reaction is happening
• Chemical equilibrium
❑Speed of the chemical reaction
• Chemical Kinetics
, Slow or Fast
