Chemical Kinetics NCERT Study Notes

Chemical kinetics studies the rate of chemical reactions and the factors affecting them. It explains how reactant concentrations, temperature, catalysts, and surface area influence reaction speed. The rate law expresses the relationship between reaction rate and reactant concentration, while the rate constant (k) depends on temperature, following the Arrhenius equation k=Ae−Ea/RT. The order of reaction indicates how rate changes with concentration.
