The rate equation for a reaction expresses the reaction rate as the product of a rate constant, denoted by the symbol  fkqz, and the concentrations of the reactants raised to certain powers. The concentrations are measured in  kg dm–3kg cm–3mol dm–3g dm–3, and the power to which a given concentration is raised is called its   levelorderdeterminantargument. The temperature dependence of the rate constant is described by the   BerzeliusNobelSvedbergArrhenius equation. Most reactions can be broken down into a series of steps; the reaction's  identityformatmechanismconstruction. The slowest step is said to be the rate-  regulatinggoverningdetermininginhibiting step. Only reactants that appear   before or inoutsideafter or inbefore this step can appear in the rate equation. The amount of time it takes for the concentration of a reagent to fall to half its initial concentration is called the half-  lifespanperiodtime, or t_1/2.

The equilibrium constant K_p is essentially the same as K_c, except that it is constructed using   partialquantalradialaerial pressures instead of concentrations. For a given species, this pressure is equal to the total pressure inside the reaction container, multiplied by the mole fraction of the species. The mole fraction of the species is equal to the   number of molesdensityvolumeconcentration of the species, divided by the total number of moles in the container. The only factor that can affect the value of an equilibrium constant is   the surface area of solid reagentsthe density of solid reagentspressuretemperature.
