An expression that gives the rate of a reaction as a function of concentrations; often called the rate law. 2, record 1, English, - differential%20rate%20law
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The differential rate law describes how the rate of reaction varies with the concentrations of various species, usually reactants, in the system. The rate of reaction is proportional to the rates of change in concentrations of the reactants and products; that is, the rate is proportional to a derivative of a concentration. 3, record 1, English, - differential%20rate%20law

Équation de vitesse intégrée. Jusqu'à présent les équations de vitesse utilisées ne permettaient d'exprimer que la variation de vitesse en fonction de la concentration des réactifs. Il est aussi utile d'exprimer la variation de concentration des réactifs en fonction du temps, une fois que l'on connaît l'équation de vitesse différentielle. 2, record 1, French, - loi%20de%20vitesse%20diff%C3%A9rentielle

A rate law is an algebraic expression giving the flux through a process in terms of the molecular abundances or concentrations of the molecules involved and perhaps including a number of other physical forces. Perhaps the most famous rate law in biology is the Henri-Michaelis-Menten rate law ... Ohm's law is a more widely encountered example ... Other famous linear rate laws are bulk flow, and diffusion. These and many others can be seen as special cases of the general principle that fluxes are driven by gradients in chemical potential. The simplest rate law of all is the linear, first order rate law kS which embodies the physical-chemical principle of mass action. Here k is the rate constant, and S is the concentration of the molecule that is moved or transformed by this process. 3, record 2, English, - rate%20law
