Kinetics

•   - Chemical Kinetics and Photchemical Data for Use in Atmospheric Studies
•  Consecutive Reactions worksheet and Consecutive Reactions pdf file  - PDF file showing variants of Figure on concentrations versus time for consecutive elementary reactions for three ratios of k_a/k_b and with ka fixed at 10³ s^-1.  This is for the reaction scheme with the elementary reactions:
                          A -> I     with rate constant k_A
                          I -> Products    with rate constant k_B
•  Steady State Approximation for H² + Br² Reaction  - PDF file which justifies the very strange rate law for the H₂ + Br₂ reaction.
• Concentration versus time for 4 scenaries of the system A = B -> C - Using . Created by TSD.
