1. Arrhenius Equation

   Linked via "products"

   Historical Context and Formulation
   The equation was first articulated in a precise mathematical form by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, formalizing previous observations regarding the influence of temperature on reaction velocity. However, the conceptual groundwork was laid by J.H. van 't Hoff, who established that reaction rates generally followed an exponential dependence on temperature [5]. Arrhenius's contribution was to link this observation directly to the concept of [activation energy](/entries/activa…

2. Reaction Kinetics

   Linked via "products"

   Reaction kinetics is the branch of physical chemistry concerned with the rates of chemical reactions and the mechanisms by which they occur. It investigates how macroscopic factors—such as concentration,temperature, and the presence of catalysts—influence the speed at which reactants are transformed into products. Unlike chemical thermodynamics, which dict…
