Reaction Rate

All the chemical reaction have each reaction rate. Each reaction can be different, depend on the Class of reaction. From an engineering viewpoint, reaction kinetics has these principal functions:
Establishing the chemical mechanism of a reaction obtaining experimental rate data.

Correlating rate data by equations or other means; Designing suitable reactors, Specifying operating conditions, control methods, and auxiliary equipment to meet the technological and economic needs of the reaction process.

Reactions can be classified in several ways. On the basis of mechanism they may be:

1. Irreversible
2. Reversible
3. Simultaneous
4. Consecutive
