"Kinetics"

Revision

 * Chemical kinetics
 * Reaction rate
 * Rate equation
 * Elementary reaction
 * Reaction rate constant
 * Rate-determining step
 * Activation energy
 * Arrhenius equation

Multi-step reactions

 * Steady state approximation

Unimolecular reactions

 * Lindemann mechanism
 * A + M → A* + M
 * A* + M → A + M
 * A* → products

Bimolecular reactions

 * Collision theory (rubbish)
 * Transition state theory
 * Molecularity?

Reactions in solution

 * Diffusion-controlled reactions
 * Activation-controlled reactions

Applications

 * Enzyme catalysis, Michaelis–Menten kinetics
 * Oscillating chemical reactions, e.g. Briggs–Rauscher reaction, Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction
