Basic Reaction Kinetics

 

Reaction rate:

Rate of decrease of reactant concentration or rate of increase of product concentration. Expressed in terms of mole/m3s

Compact expression for chemical reaction:

Where,

and are stoichiometric coefficients of reactants and products.
N is the total number of species
M is the arbitrary specification of all chemical species
