Rate constant

The rate constant, also known as the reaction rate constant, is a proportionality constant that relates the rate of a chemical reaction to the concentrations of the reactants. It is typically denoted by the symbol k and has units of inverse time (e.g., s^-1, min^-1, etc.). The value of the rate constant depends on a…

Equilibrium constant (Kp and Kc) and Reaction quotient

Equilibrium constant (Kp and Kc) and Reaction quotient are terms commonly used in the field of chemical equilibrium. Equilibrium constant (Kp or Kc) is a numerical value that relates the concentrations (or partial pressures) of the reactants and products of a reversible chemical reaction at equilibrium. The equilibrium constant expression is written as: Kp =…
