Kinetics in Geochemistry A brief introduction.
What is the Reaction Mechanism A tutorial on chemical kinetics with step-by-step examples.
Rate Laws Differential rate laws, integrated rate laws. Examples are used to show how to determine rate constants.
More about the Reaction Mechanism A tutorial on reaction mechanism and kinetics as well as many examples.
Mechanisms are Sequences of Steps A brief discussion of mechanism.
Equilibrium in Kinetic Mechanisms A detailed discussion of equlibrium in kinetic mechanisms with some very good examples.
Chain Reactions Basic concepts and examples.
Temperature & Reaction Rates A discussion of how temperature affects the reaction rates.
Rate Determining Step The mechanistic step in a reaction that by its relatively slow rate limits the overall rate of a reaction.
Catalyst Although the catalyst alters the rate of the reaction, the catalyst is not changed chemically in any way.

Different Types of Catalysis Heterogeneous, homogeneous, enzymatic catalysis.
Catalysis Terms and concepts.
Reaction Rate The rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the active masses of the reactants.
