What is fast reaction ?

Reaction which go to equilibrium in a few seconds are

known as fast reactions This reaction even proceed in less time can not be kinetically studied by conventional methods. Such as
titration, conductometrically, colorimetry

Experimental techniques developed by the German

chemist Manfred Eigen in 1950 What is meant by relaxation ? The reacting system in equilibrium is subjected to a sudden variation in some parameter on which the equilibrium constant of reaction depends. The system changes to new state of chemical equilibrium. The rate of this change is called relaxation Parameters of relaxation methods Temperature Pressure Electric field

Apparatus for the temperature jump method Capacitor (C) Photomultiplier tube (PM) Spark gap (G)

The equilibrium constant for the autoprotolysis of water, H20(l) ~

H+(aq) +OH-(aq), is Kw= a(H+)a(OH-) = 1.008 x 10-14 at 298 K. After a temperature-jump, the reaction returns to equilibrium with a relaxation time of 37 us at 298 K and pH = 7. Given that the forward reaction is first-order and the reverse is second order overall, calculate the rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions.
