Kinetic Model

A kinetic model describes how chemical reactions occur over time by analyzing the rates at which reactants convert into products. It uses mathematical equations to represent the steps involved in the reaction and how quickly each step happens. This helps scientists understand the mechanisms underlying reactions, predict how long reactions will take under different conditions, and optimize processes in industries like pharmaceuticals or manufacturing. Essentially, it connects the microscopic behavior of molecules with the observable speed of the overall reaction, providing insight into the dynamic changes during chemical transformations.
