This will be the class for Class 12th students to explore the topic Chemical Kinetics.
I'll provide you the accurate explanation during the session along with the notes.
To learn about the chemical Kinetics, a student should have the prior knowledge of :
1. Calculus
2. General Mathematics.
There are many experiments designed to illustrate how reactions happen. One of the methods used is chemical kinetics, in which the rate of a reaction is measured. By making changes in the reaction conditions and measuring the effect of the changes on the rate of reaction, we can infer what is going on at the molecular level.
- Chemical kinetics is the measurement of how quickly reactions occur.
- If changes in conditions affect the speed of reaction, we can learn something about how the reaction happens.
Kinetic studies are important in understanding reactions, and they also have practical implications. For example, in industry, reactions are conducted in reactors in which compounds are mixed together, possibly heated and stirred for a while, and then moved to the next phase of the process. It is important to know how long to hold the reaction at one stage before moving on, to make sure that reaction has finished before starting the next one.
By understanding how a reaction takes place, many processes can be improved. For example, if it is known that a particular intermediate is involved in a reaction, the use of conditions (such as certain solvents) that are incompatible with that intermediate might be avoided. In addition, reagents might be added that would make certain steps in the reaction happen more easily.
