Résumé

Controlling reactions between molecules is a major fundamental goal in chemistry and doing so on the level of individual quantum states is very challenging. Now, control over the reactant state and full characterization of the product-state distribution of an ultracold bimolecular reaction has been demonstrated.

Approximation des états quasi stationnaires

L'approximation des états quasi stationnaires (AEQS) est une hypothèse parfois prise en physique, en chimie et tout particulièrement en cinétique chimique, elle est alors également appelée le principe de Bodenstein. Soit X* un intermédiaire réactionnel (donc très réactif). Selon l'AEQS, sa vitesse de création est à peu près égale à sa vitesse de disparition car il est consommé par la réaction juste après sa création. En considérant que sa concentration reste tellement faible qu'elle est constante, la dérivée de sa concentration est nulle.

Rate equation

In chemistry, the rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is a mathematical equation that links the rate of forward reaction with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders). For many reactions, the initial rate is given by a power law such as where [\mathrm{A}] and [\mathrm{B}] express the concentration of the species \mathrm{A} and \mathrm{B}, usually in moles per liter (molarity, M).

Reaction rate

The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. Reaction rates can vary dramatically. For example, the oxidative rusting of iron under Earth's atmosphere is a slow reaction that can take many years, but the combustion of cellulose in a fire is a reaction that takes place in fractions of a second.
