Talk:Reaction rate constant

Latest comment: 3 years ago by 2A01:C23:8410:100:D17E:87BC:B79B:91A0 in topic rate equations should be defined with activities rather than concentrations

This article is terribly confusing and I think the equations need to be cleaned up... could someone contribute? 192.133.84.6 00:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal

edit

I suggested merging the article Rate coefficient into this article (Reaction rate constant). I believe that they talk about the same. Stan J. Klimas 19:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I agree. --Itub 11:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Agree as well, I'll help flesh it out if we get consensus. Pckilgore (talk) 06:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.147.63 (talk) 16:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC) I agree completely. This correlates little with ionic strength relative to its correlation with a reaction rate article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.6.178.53 (talk) 18:40, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Symbol "A" ?

edit

Isn't "A" being used to denote for two different things in the same equation? Ywaz (talk) 10:39, 22 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

No. The square brakets around [A] denote the molar concentration of a general reactant A. Glanhawr (talk) 17:51, 16 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
I still would consider it confusing, being that square brackets can sometimes be used as a grouping symbol, like parenthesis. I would change the sample reaction to use variable names other than A, B, and C to avoid this confusion. If not, I would explicitly define the A before Euler's constant in the Arrhenius equation transformation as being a constant (which it generally is) or at least as the frequency variable, which it actually is -- kkleidal@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.16.205.148 (talk) 05:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Merging article

edit

Shouldn't this article be merged with Wikipedia's "Reaction rate" article? Both articles are on the same subject, and this one, "Reaction rate constant," is somewhat a continuation of the principle article.--MaxAMSC (talk) 23:29, 29 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Equations Missing

edit

The equations in this article are missing and have been replaced with red error text. Can someone fix this? Kingky (talk) 13:24, 10 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Done though I'm not sure why it worked. I resaved the existing version as is and the parsing errors disappeared, and my "edit" is not even in the edit history because the system thinks I didn't change anything. My guess is that there was a system glitch on the save of the previous edit on August 1. Anyway it's ok now. Dirac66 (talk) 21:00, 10 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
