Chapter 14: Kinetics and Equilibrium

The rate at which a reaction occurs and the extent to which it occurs are two important ideas in Chemistry. Some reactions occur rapidly while others crawl. Some reactions continue until the reactants are used up while others show signs of stopping before they are used up. In Chapter 14, we will learn how chemists use concepts of kinetics and equilibrium to understand and to control the rate and the extent of a reaction.
