Objective:
To study the kinetics rule of chlorine dioxide oxidize thiocyanide as the experimental objective.
Methods:
Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to detect the concentration of chlorine dioxide and thocyanide which were changed with the time. According to initial rate method to determine the reaction order and rate equation, calculated Constant Rate, the activation energy, the half-life and other parameters.
Results:
The reaction of chlorine dioxide oxidize thiocyanide was zero-order reaction both for chlorine and thiocyanide, order of overtall reaction was zero, too. At 293.15 K, k = 3.65 x 10(-6) mol/(L x s). E = 2.5 kJ/mol.
Conclusion:
Its activation energy was very little, reaction was fast. In general condition it could occour,while thiocyanide remained merely. It provided a new method for industry to deal with the waster contained thiocyanide.

SN2 Reaction: Kinetics
In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a reaction.

Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
