After studying this Unit, you will be
able to
·
define 
the 
average 
and
instantaneous rate of a reaction;
·
express the rate of a reaction in
terms of change in concentration
of either of the reactants or
products with time;
·
distinguish between elementary
and complex reactions;
·
differentiate 
between 
the
molecularity and order of a
reaction;
·
define rate constant;
·
discuss the dependence of rate of
reactions 
on 
concentration,
temperature and catalyst;
·
derive integrated rate equations
for the zero and first order
reactions;
·
determine the rate constants for
zeroth and first order reactions;
·
describe collision theory Objectives

that diamond is forever Kinetic studies not only help us to determine
the speed or rate of a chemical reaction but also describe the
conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered
