Kinetics: The Steady-State Approximation

The video tutorial discusses two fundamental complex mechanisms in kinetics and physical chemistry: the steady state approximation and the pre-equilibrium approximation. The focus is on the steady state approximation, which is crucial for understanding other complex mechanisms. The tutorial explains the concept, mathematical derivation, and application of the steady state approximation, emphasizing its importance in calculating reaction rates and understanding intermediate species in chemical reactions.
