THE Chemical Kinetics studies the rate of development, that is, the speed, at which reactions are processed and how we can interfere, increasing or decreasing this speed.
This branch of Chemistry is extremely important for the development of our society. For example, one of your areas of study analyzes the catalysts, fundamental substances for the industry, as they are capable of accelerating the speed of many reactions. In this way, Chemical Kinetics makes possible the production of a series of important compounds for our life, which would otherwise take a long time to form and, moreover, in very small quantity.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
In addition, Chemical Kinetics also provides the tools we need to know how to slow down unwanted reactions, such as food decomposition.
