Chemical kinetics
http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch22/rate.php
This tutorial on chemical kinetics from Purdue University Chemical Education Department is divided into three sections: the introductory section covers chemical kinetics; instantaneous rates of reaction and the rate law for a reaction; rate laws and rate constants; different ways of expressing the rate of reaction; the rate law versus the stoichiometry of a reaction; order and molecularity; and a collision theory model of chemical reactions. Part two discusses chemical reactions in more detail, including mechanisms, determining the order of a reaction, and the relationship between rate constants and equilibrium constants. The final section covers activation energy and catalysts. Each part contains equations, examples and diagrams to illustrate the concepts discussed.

The importance of the kinetics of chemical reactions is explained in this site. The rate of reaction and its relationship to stoichiometric equations, rate laws, rate constants, the influence of temperature, the relationship between reaction rate and equilibrium constants, and the different ways for the experimental determination of rate laws and constants are described. Different reaction rate theories are explained, such as the molecular orbital (MO) theory and the collision theory. The different methods for the experimental determination of rate constants include light absorbance, conductivity measurements, gas pressure, electrochemistry, chemical methods and flash photolysis are described. Different reaction cases and examples are explained, including the Michaelis-Menten equation, chain reactions and the calculation of the collision rate.
