1 Ready; Catalysis Kinetics-1 There are only two important things in chemistry, kinetics and thermodynamics. And, exp(-ΔG/RT) = k1/k-1, so there’s really only one thing. Kinetics provides information about the transition state of a reaction. We’ll use a simple example to learn the basic tools, then look at more applications to catalysis.
