Rate Constant:In chemistry, this term refers to proportionality constant in rate law equation that is specific for every chemical reaction and depends on temperature and catalyst presence. It’s like setting pace for our popcorn popping – it determines how fast we expect kernels to transform under given conditions.
Order of Reaction:This term describes how changing concentration affects overall rate; it’s like observing whether adding more kernels makes popcorn pop faster or not.
Half-Life:This is the time required for half of a reactant to be converted into product. It's like timing how long it takes for half of our popcorn kernels to pop.
