Flashcards: Chemical kinetics

The transition state of a chemical reaction is a particular configuration along the reaction coordinate.

A reaction intermediate or an intermediate is a molecular entity that is formed from the reactants (or preceding intermediates) and reacts further to give the directly observed products of a chemical reaction.

Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the study of rates of chemical processes.

Catalysis (/kəˈtælᵻsᵻs/) is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst (/ˈkætəlᵻst/).

The Kinetic PreProcessor (KPP) is an open-source software tool used in atmospheric chemistry.

Kintech Lab is a software company headquartered in Russia.

The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with concentrations or pressures of reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).

Half-life (abbreviated t1⁄2) is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value.

AutoChem is NASA release software that constitutes an automatic computer code generator and documenter for chemically reactive systems written by David Lary between 1993 and the present.

George Simms Hammond (May 22, 1921 – October 5, 2005) was an American scientist, author, academic administrator, and chemical theorist.

In chemical kinetics, the overall rate of a reaction is often approximately determined by the slowest step, known as the rate determining step (RDS) or rate-limiting step.

René Marcelin (12 June 1885-24 September 1914) was a French physical chemist, who died in World War I at a young age.
