Encyclopedia
First-order reaction may refer to:
- Order of reactionOrder of reactionIn chemical kinetics, the order of reaction with respect to certain reactant, is defined as the power to which its concentration term in the rate equation is raised .For example, given a chemical reaction 2A + B → C with a rate equation...
, in chemical kinetics, the power to which the concentration term of a certain reactant in the rate equation is raised - Rate equation#First-order reactions, a reaction that depends on the concentration of only one reactant
