Talk:Reaction rate constant

This article is terribly confusing and I think the equations need to be cleaned up... could someone contribute? 192.133.84.6 00:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I suggested merging the article Rate coefficient into this article (Reaction rate constant). I believe that they talk about the same. Stan J. Klimas 19:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. --Itub 11:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree as well, I'll help flesh it out if we get consensus. Pckilgore (talk) 06:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.147.63 (talk) 16:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC) I agree completely. This correlates little with ionic strength relative to its correlation with a reaction rate article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.6.178.53 (talk) 18:40, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Symbol "A" ?

Isn't "A" being used to denote for two different things in the same equation? Ywaz (talk) 10:39, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. The square brakets around [A] denote the molar concentration of a general reactant A. Glanhawr (talk) 17:51, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still would consider it confusing, being that square brackets can sometimes be used as a grouping symbol, like parenthesis. I would change the sample reaction to use variable names other than A, B, and C to avoid this confusion. If not, I would explicitly define the A before Euler's constant in the Arrhenius equation transformation as being a constant (which it generally is) or at least as the frequency variable, which it actually is -- kkleidal@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.16.205.148 (talk) 05:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merging article

Shouldn't this article be merged with Wikipedia's "Reaction rate" article? Both articles are on the same subject, and this one, "Reaction rate constant," is somewhat a continuation of the principle article.--MaxAMSC (talk) 23:29, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Equations Missing

The equations in this article are missing and have been replaced with red error text. Can someone fix this? Kingky (talk) 13:24, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done though I'm not sure why it worked. I resaved the existing version as is and the parsing errors disappeared, and my "edit" is not even in the edit history because the system thinks I didn't change anything. My guess is that there was a system glitch on the save of the previous edit on August 1. Anyway it's ok now. Dirac66 (talk) 21:00, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

rate equations should be defined with activities rather than concentrations
