unusual facts about Chemical kinetics


Explosive material

--vague, needs better def--> However, in the context of explosives, stability commonly refers to ease of detonation, which is concerned with kinetics (i.e., rate of decomposition).


Order of reaction

In chemical kinetics, the order of reaction with respect to a given substance (such as reactant, catalyst or product) is defined as the index, or exponent, to which its concentration term in the rate equation is raised.

Rouleaux

According to Smoluchowski aggregation kinetics of colloids is based on the assumption that each particle is surrounded by a "sphere influence.
