Answer to Question #141686 in General Chemistry for Yuki

Question

The importance of kinetic analyses in general for determining reaction mechanisms.

Answer 1

1. Kinetic analysis is very useful for determining reaction mechanisms of reactions that are too slow for other analytical methods.

2. Kinetic analysis obtains results that are much more representative of reaction behaviour under commonly utilized conditions than do traditional tactics.

3. chemical kinetic analysis allows for the quantitative analysis of enzymes and their substrates, and the determination of the their mechanisms

4. information obtained by kinetic analysis over time may provide insight regarding unexpected behaviour such as induction periods, catalyst deactivation, or changes in mechanism.
