How should the term “first-order forward reaction rate constant” be translated? Could you provide an example to illustrate it?
Personally, I think it is the first-order rate constant.
An educational post, from the versatile Baidu: A first-order reaction refers to any reaction whose rate is directly proportional to the first power of the concentration of the reactants. For example, the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide: H2O2→H2O+1/2O2. The term \"forward\" refers to the forward reaction, as opposed to the backward reaction. In the example given above, it refers to the direction in which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed.
first-order forward reaction rate constant – this is a term from chemical engineering; if I remember correctly, it refers to the rate constant for a first-order forward reaction
