What are Some Common Models Used in Kinetic Studies?
Several models can be used to describe the kinetics of catalytic reactions: 1. Langmuir-Hinshelwood model: Assumes that both reactants adsorb onto the catalyst surface before reacting. 2. Eley-Rideal model: Assumes that one reactant adsorbs onto the catalyst surface while the other reacts directly from the gas phase. 3. Michaelis-Menten kinetics: Often used to describe enzyme-catalyzed reactions, this model relates the rate of reaction to the concentration of substrate and enzyme.
