Gas Reaction Kinetics

This lecture covers the kinetics of gas reactions, focusing on first-order reactions and decomposition processes. The instructor presents examples of gas reactions, such as the decomposition of SO.Cl, and explains how to calculate the percentage of decomposition and the time needed for half of the compound to decompose. Additionally, the lecture discusses the rate expressions for the consumption and production of reactants in gas reactions, as well as the relationship between these expressions. The concepts of rate constants, reaction orders, and the units of rate constants for different reaction orders are also explored.
