This lecture covers the kinetics of chemical reactions, focusing on second-order reactions, pseudo-order reactions, determination of reaction order, and the role of molecules in catalysis. It also discusses the theory of collisions, activation energy, molecular reactions, and the Arrhenius equation. Examples and methods for determining reaction orders and rate constants are presented, along with the application of kinetics in pharmaceuticals and biological systems.
