Arrhenius equation — The Arrhenius equation is a simple, but remarkably accurate, formula for the temperature dependence of the rate constant, and therefore, rate of a chemical reaction. [http://www.iupac.org/goldbook/A00446.pdf Arrhenius equation] IUPAC Goldbook… … Wikipedia
Marcus theory — is a theory originally developed by Rudolph A. Marcus, starting in 1956, to explain the rates of electron transfer reactions – the rate at which an electron can move or jump from one chemical species (called the electron donor) to another (called … Wikipedia
Arrhenius plot — An Arrhenius plot displays the logarithm of a rate (ln(k), ordinate axis) plotted against inverse temperature (1/T, abscissa). Arrhenius plots are often used to analyze the effect of temperature on the rates of chemical reactions. For a single… … Wikipedia

Reaction rate constant — In chemical kinetics a reaction rate constant k or λ quantifies the speed of a chemical reaction.[1] For a chemical reaction where substance A and B are reacting to produce C, the reaction rate has the form: Reaction: A + B → C k(T) is the… … Wikipedia
Kinetic isotope effect — The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is the ratio of reaction rates of two different isotopically labeled molecules in a chemical reaction. It is also called isotope fractionation, although this term is somewhat broader in meaning. A KIE involving… … Wikipedia
