By analyzing mechanisms, one can predict rate laws and gain insights into reaction pathways. The example given shows how different mechanisms imply different orders of reaction, which cannot confirm a specific mechanism alone.

It covers simple unimolecular conversions, reversible reactions, catalyzed reactions, reactions with intermediates, and reactions with competing pathways. For each mechanism, equations for the rate of change of concentrations are provided, explaining how they lead to specific concentration profiles over time.

The theory predicts the reaction rate using factors like collision frequency and activation energy. Although initially applicable to bimolecular reactions, it can also elucidate first-order reactions involving bimolecular initiation steps, as demonstrated in the decomposition of N2O5.

In this chapter, we will first define the reaction rate as the instantaneous change in concentration with respect to the time. Often we are interested in how the reaction rate depends on the concentrations of the species involved. This depends on the order of the reaction and leads to the various differential rate laws. On the other hand, if we are interested in how the concentration

It highlights the principle of detailed balance at equilibrium and notes that different mechanisms can result in the same rate law. The Lindemann mechanism focuses on unimolecular reactions, while chain reactions involve repeated steps.

It highlights that the conversion of intermediate C to product D can lead to a simplified rate law through the steady-state approximation. Three cases are presented: Case IIa, where intermediate C forms quickly, yielding a first-order rate; Case IIb, involving equilibrium; and Case IIc, which allows for a non-negligible concentration of C but results in a similar rate.

The rate law must be determined from experiment and is consistent with an underlying mechanism. In this chapter we will consider schemes for different reaction mechanisms involving one or more elementary steps. We will consider reaction schemes for reversible reactions, parallel reactions, and sequential reactions. These type of reaction schemes are the building blocks for buildin

Despite the diversity of chemical kinetic methods, by 1960 they no longer were in common use. By the 1980s, improvements in instrumentation and data analysis methods compensated for these limitations, ensuring the further development of chemical kinetic methods of analysis.
