What Techniques are Used to Monitor Reaction Kinetics?
Several techniques can be employed to monitor reaction kinetics in catalysis:
Spectroscopy: Techniques like UV-Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy can be used to monitor changes in the concentration of reactants and products. Calorimetry: Measures the heat evolved or absorbed during a reaction, providing information on the reaction rate. Chromatography: Techniques like GC and HPLC can separate and quantify reaction components. Mass Spectrometry: Can provide detailed information on the molecular composition of reaction intermediates and products.
