This lecture covers the fundamentals of chemical kinetics, focusing on reaction rates, mechanisms, and factors influencing the speed of reactions. Topics include order of reactions, activation energy, catalysis, and inhibitions. Through examples like the combustion of wood and enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the instructor explains how temperature, concentration, and catalysts affect reaction rates.
