What are Common Models Used to Describe Catalytic Kinetics?
Several models are used to describe catalytic kinetics. Some of the most common include:
Langmuir-Hinshelwood model: Assumes that both reactants adsorb onto the catalyst surface before reacting. Eley-Rideal model: Proposes that one reactant adsorbs onto the catalyst surface while the other reacts directly from the gas or liquid phase. Michaelis-Menten kinetics: Commonly used in enzymatic catalysis, this model describes the rate of enzymatic reactions by relating reaction rate to substrate concentration.
