This article is terribly confusing and I think the equations need to be cleaned up... could someone contribute? 192.133.84.6 00:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC) reply

I suggested merging the article Rate coefficient into this article (Reaction rate constant). I believe that they talk about the same. Stan J. Klimas 19:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC) reply

I agree. -- Itub 11:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Agree as well, I'll help flesh it out if we get consensus. Pckilgore ( talk) 06:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Agreed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.147.63 ( talk) 16:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC) I agree completely. This correlates little with ionic strength relative to its correlation with a reaction rate article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.6.178.53 ( talk) 18:40, 20 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Isn't "A" being used to denote for two different things in the same equation? Ywaz ( talk) 10:39, 22 September 2011 (UTC) reply

No. The square brakets around [A] denote the molar concentration of a general reactant A. Glanhawr ( talk) 17:51, 16 October 2011 (UTC) reply

I still would consider it confusing, being that square brackets can sometimes be used as a grouping symbol, like parenthesis. I would change the sample reaction to use variable names other than A, B, and C to avoid this confusion. If not, I would explicitly define the A before Euler's constant in the Arrhenius equation transformation as being a constant (which it generally is) or at least as the frequency variable, which it actually is -- kkleidal@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.16.205.148 ( talk) 05:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Shouldn't this article be merged with Wikipedia's " Reaction rate" article? Both articles are on the same subject, and this one, " Reaction rate constant," is somewhat a continuation of the principle article.-- MaxAMSC ( talk) 23:29, 29 February 2012 (UTC) reply

The equations in this article are missing and have been replaced with red error text. Can someone fix this? Kingky ( talk) 13:24, 10 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Done though I'm not sure why it worked. I resaved the existing version as is and the parsing errors disappeared, and my "edit" is not even in the edit history because the system thinks I didn't change anything. My guess is that there was a system glitch on the save of the previous edit on August 1. Anyway it's ok now. Dirac66 ( talk) 21:00, 10 September 2012 (UTC) reply
