SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the concept of reaction orders greater than 1, specifically how conversion rates increase over time as concentration rises. It emphasizes the mathematical representation of reaction rates, particularly for second-order reactions, and references the Wikipedia page on the order of reaction for further clarification. Participants seek to understand the implications of these concepts in practical applications, highlighting the importance of mass balance in chemical kinetics.

Welcome to the PF.

Can you provide a link to that statement? Is it a translation, or was the original text in English?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_reaction
 
Can you write the mass balance to show the reaction rate as a function of concentration for a second order reaction?
