  • Chemical Kinetics

    The study of factors affecting the speed at which reactants convert into products.
  • Reaction Rate

    The measure of speed and change in concentration of reactants or products over time.
  • Concentration

    The amount of a substance in a given volume, often denoted by square brackets.
  • Reactants

    Substances that undergo change during a chemical reaction.
  • Products

    Substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
  • Completion

    A state where nearly all reactants are transformed into products, indicated by a single arrow.
  • Single Arrow

    Symbol used in chemical equations to indicate reactions that proceed to completion.
  • Rate Decrease

    The reduction in reaction speed as reactant concentrations diminish over time.
  • Limit

    The maximum extent of product formation when all reactants are consumed.
  • Speed

    The rate at which reactants are converted into products in a chemical reaction.
  • Transformation

    The process of converting reactants into products during a chemical reaction.
