Reaction kinetics

From Glossary of Meteorology



reaction kinetics

The branch of physical chemistry that deals with the determination of the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions.

The measurement of the rate coefficients for a large number of gas-phase chemical reactions has improved our ability to model the impact of human activities on the atmosphere. For description of some of the techniques used,
see flash photolysis systems, laser-induced fluorescence, resonance fluorescence.
