kinetics

Question 1

rate constant

Answer 1

The rate constant
𝑘 determines the speed of a reaction at a given temperature. It reflects how quickly or slowly a reaction proceeds

Question 2

half-life

Answer 2

is the time it takes for the concentration (or amount) of a reactant to reduce to half its initial value.

Question 3

activation
energy

Answer 3

in kinetics is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. It represents the energy barrier that reactants must overcome to be transformed into products.
Activation energy (Ea) is the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state (or activated complex) in a chemical reaction
