How original is my general matrix formula for rate equations?
I was dissatisfied with the method my teacher taught me to solve rate equations, where you're given experimental values for the concentrations of reactants, and the rate of reaction, which given by
$$...

Does real-world gas phase chemistry use "concentration reaction quotients" (K_c)?
As a theoretical chemist, my entire exposure to reaction quotients and equilibrium constants ($Q$ and $K$) is through thermodynamics ($\Delta G^\ominus = - RT \ln K_{eq}$ and so on).
So as I started ...

What equation can be used to determine the mass of water evaporation over time, when cooking?
When baking, cooking or writing recipes, it would be useful to have a ballpark estimate of evaporation rates. This question asks about water, although the answer would ideally include an ...

In regards to the Gibbs free energy equation, it seems that the two terms oppose one another, Enthalpy and -TS. Can you explain this?
So for example, if H is endothermic, then the enthalpy term is positive, meaning energy is absorbed by system overall, meaning net bonds broken, meaning the equation leans towards nonspontaneity. If ...

Rate of Reaction - Potassium Permanganate and Hydrogen Peroxide
I'm interested in an aerospace project that requires I know the reaction rate ($[\pu{M/s}]$) of,
$$\ce{2 KMnO4 (aq) + 3 H2O2 (aq) -> 3 O2 (g) + 2 MnO2 (s) + 2 KOH (aq) + 2H2O (l)}.$$
I'm just ...
