Показать описание
A reaction mechanism is a description of how a chemical reaction happens. The kinetics--and specifically the rate law--can be used to determine the mechanism of a reaction. In this video, we will look at a nucleophilic substitution reaction to better understand chemical kinetics.

Thank God I saw ur channel!! Helped me out a lot with one of the stoichiometry vids after watching it one time! And u have so many other vids on different topics. Definitely will help me out understand basic concept for AP Chem. Thank You☺️

Simply love the way you explain chemistry. Currently reviewing to start studying at uni after a long break and your videos have really helped me review the content. Feel like I know it better now than I did back then!
