What Is a Kinetics Study

Reaction kinetic studies investigate the rate at which reactants disappear or products form. The instantaneous rate is the change in the reactant or product at any given time and is determined by examining the slope of the curve in the plot of concentration vs time.

What is the purpose of a kinetics lab?

To determine the rate law of a chemical reaction using the Method of Initial Rates. To determine the activation energy of the reaction by finding the value of the rate constant, k, at several temperatures.

What does kinetics mean in biology?

Kinetics is the study of reaction rates and how they are affected. Many factors, such as concentration, pressure, temperature, and enzyme activity, can impact the rate of a reaction.
