What is the difference between a single displacement reaction and a two competing reaction system?
For example, consider the single-displacement reaction
$$\ce{AB + C <=> BC + A}$$
My question is then if writing this reaction as the system
\begin{gather}
\ce{AB <=> A + B} \\
\ce{B + C &...

Why is the rate of a reaction proportional to the concentrations of reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients?
Consider a gaseous state elementary reaction $$\ce{aA(g) + bB(g)} \overset{k_\mathrm{f}}{\underset{k_{\mathrm{b}}}{\ce{<=>}}}\ce{ cC(g) + dD(g)}$$
I know that for this reaction, $$\Delta G = \...

Relationship between rate equation and equilibrium constant
I have read mannaia's answer on the question of 'rate order and confusion', as well as Nicolau Saker Neto's answer to a related question. They have both been very helpful.
As I understand, the ...
