Kinetic Control versus Thermodynamic Control of a Reaction
The potential outcome of a reaction is usually influenced by two factors: the relative stability…
Relationship of the Equilibrium Constant and ΔG°
When the reaction quotient is lesser than the equilibrium constant, a chemical reaction will proceed…
Dependence of Reaction Rate on Concentration of Reactants
When the concentrations of the reactants are raised, the reaction proceeds more quickly. Raising the…
Dependence of Reaction Rate Upon Temperature
Many chemical reactions and almost all biochemical reactions do not occur spontaneously and must have…
