Best Answer

A chemospecific reaction is one where a reaction occurs at only one functional group but not another, e.g. the oxidation of a primary alcohol but not a secondary alcohol.

Chemoselective is a related term which indicates a preference of one functional group over another; both reactions may occur, but there will be a major and a minor product.

Function of catalyst and inhibitor in reaction kinetic?

A catalyst provides a reaction pathway with a lower activation energy and so directs the reaction one specific way or accelerates the reaction. An inhibitor blocks a reaction path and so prevents a product or slows down the reaction.


What is the formula for half-life?

In chemistry, the half-life of a reaction is defined as the time needed for the concentration of a reactant to decrease to half of its initial concentration. According to that definition, the half-life of the reaction will be t1/2 = 0,693/k where k is the equilibrium constant for that reaction at a specific temperature.
