Integrated rate laws express reactant or product concentration as a function of time. It’s used to calculate the rate constant, half-life, and initial rate of the reaction.

Comparing the reactant quotient (Q) with the equilibrium constant (K) We can determine the predominant direction of a reversible reaction by comparing a Q value calculated for given concentrations of ...

Calculating a rate constant allows chemists to predict the speed at which reactions will occur and understand the specific conditions under which they progress. By determining the rate constant, we ...
