Chemical kinetics

  • Arrhenius law


The global rate of a reaction (evolution in concentration per unit of time) varies depending on the proportion of the rates associated to the forward and backward directions.


  • Three-body reactions

In the forward direction, three-body reactions involve two species A and B as reactants and yield a single product AB. In that case, the third body M is used to stabilize the excited product AB*. On the contrary, in the reverse direction, heat provides the energy necessary to break the link between A and B. Although three-body reactions are described by only one Arrhenius equation, the process goes through the steps detailed within the table
