Rate laws of chemical reactions

摘要: In addressing geochemical phenomena from the kinetic point of view, a deeper understanding is obtained mechanisms and molecular pathways by which reactions are carried out. The element distribution in earth result series such transformations, involve sedimentary metamorphic, igneous processes that lead to concept cycles. As particular mineral assemblage undergoes changes pressure and/or temperature, disequilibrium will drive certain chemical reactions. Changes fluid content system also other this Chapter, rate change concentration species participating related state (i.e., pressure, bulk composition). concepts include: steady state; overall reactions; reactive intermediates; activation energies; adsorption; detailed balancing; mass transfer. major conclusion made chapter many natural systems not equilibrium.
