Scale in Chemistry

1. Homogeneous reactions scale linearly in concentration for simple, single reactions, but many step reactions scale according to a particular mechanism.
2. Simple, inhomogeneous reactions scale as length squared; as surface area. example: a Pt catalyst in a hydrogenation reaction. More complicated enzyme reactions may have a complicated scaling.
   
3. Belusoz-Zhabotinsky reaction scales in volume related to stirring rate, or effectivness of stirring. This is a mater of diffusion dependence, or mixing, but has a complicated scaling dependent on concentrations.

   Reactions scale with temperature.

   1. a) Rates and Arrhenieus equation
   2. b) Free Energy
   3. c) Enthalpy
   4. d) Entropy
