Fundamental concepts in chemical kinetics

Abstract: Students and young researchers will find in this article a clear and accurate presentation of fundamental concepts in chemical kinetics: reaction rates, elementary reactions and mechanisms, kinetic constants and relation to thermodynamics, and energies of activation. The discussions are based on specialized literature without going into detail and avoid misunderstandings and sometimes errors found in the general literature and on the Internet. With this aim, an original approach is sometimes adopted.

“…The reaction rate, i.e., the rate at which α cures (dα/dt), is expressed in Equation ( 4). α can also be expressed as the degree of curing [43,44]. The area of the total calorific value was integrated over time to analyze the change in the curing degree over time.…”

“…Equation ( 3) is the most commonly used form of TST, which omits complex considerations of the partition functions of the reactant and the activated complex, and thus does not take into account the motion over the saddle point [72]. This equation is presented in the simplest form (apart from the temperature) with a single frequency variable ν:…”

“…Equilibrium constants depend on the ionic strength and consequently the kinetic constants also depend on it [24]. It is not possible to take this effect exactly into account but we note that most monovalent ions have an activity coefficient  near 0.70-0.75 in the range of ionic strengths of most of our experiments (0.1 to 0.2 M) and we use values of the kinetic constants estimated if  ~ 0.7.…”

“…However, many reactions of Table I are not elementary and the use of this principle may be open to criticism. We have offered another proof introducing the concept of quasi-elementary reaction [24]. It is defined as a reaction with a well-defined stoichiometry and rate orders corresponding to this stoichiometry.…”
