Kinneticaly equvialent therms
« on: February 18, 2016, 08:47:28 AM »
In rate law I find therm Kinetically equivalent terms. Can somebody please explain me, what does this mean?

I'm not sure, without a context. Can you quote the sentence or paragraph where this phrase is used?

It is defined in the immediately following words: they are "indistinguishable from each other in a rate expression". That is, they have the same dependence on concentration of reagents (here H+) and analysis would yield a single rate constant (which here, for B and D for example, would be a combination of k2, k4 and Ka).
