	Chemical reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A chemical reaction is a process involving one, two or more substances (called reactants), characterized by a chemical change and yielding one or more product(s) which are different from the reactants.
		Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that strictly involve the motion of electrons, although the general concept of a chemical reaction (in particular the notion of a chemical equation) is applicable to transformations of elementary particles, as well as nuclear reactions.
		Reaction rates are related to the concentrations of substances involved in reactions, as quantified by the law of mass action.

	Reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, a reaction is defined by Newton's third law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".
		In politics, the reaction is the attitude of the reactionaries, or their political movement.
		In risk management, the reaction is a response after the hazard.

		For the reaction #'s 1 and 3 the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is the same but the concentration of the other reagent involved in the rate expression, the iodide ion, does vary.
		In the reaction where the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (a molecular compound) is varied, the difference in the total volume of solution is compensated by the equivalent amount of another molecular compound, water.
		In the reaction where the concentration of iodide ion is varied, the difference in total volume is compensated by the equivalent amount of another ion of the same charge, the chloride ion.

	Visual Expert Human Factors: Driver Reaction Time
		Reaction times are greatly affected by whether the driver is alert to the need to brake.
		Reaction time depends to some extent on the distance to the obstacle and whether it is approaching from the side and is first seen in peripheral vision.
		The increased reaction time is due to several factors, including the need to interpret the novel situation and possibly to decide whether there is time to brake or whether steering is better response.

	R
		In the formalism of "transition-state theory", the reaction coordinate is that coordinate in a set of curvilinear coordinates obtained from the conventional ones for the reactants which, for each reaction step, leads smoothly from the configuration of the reactants through that of the transition state to the configuration of the products.
		An elementary reaction, constituting one of the stages of a stepwise reaction in which a reaction intermediate (or, for the first step, the reactants) is converted into the next reaction intermediate (or, for the last step, the products) in the sequence of intermediates between reactants and products.
		The elementary reaction or reaction stage (of a molecular rearrangement) in which there is both making and breaking of bonds between atoms common to a reactant and a reaction product or a reaction intermediate.

	Maillard Reaction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Maillard reaction is a type of non-enzymatic browning which involves the reaction of simple sugars (carbonyl groups) and amino acids (free amino groups).
		The initial reaction is the condensation of the carbonyl group of a reducing sugar (aldose) with a free amino group of a protein or an amino acid, which loses a molecule of water to form N-substituted glycosylamine (Step A).
		In foods, attempts to prevent the reaction should be directed towards removing one of the reactants: the amino compounds (for carbohydrate-rich foods) or the reducing sugars for protein-rich foods.

	Chemical Kinetics: Rate of Reaction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The rate of reaction, r, is defined to be the slope of the concentration-time plot for a species divided by the stoichiometric coefficient of that species.
		Notice that this definition produces the same rate of reaction irrespective of which species in the reaction is used to perform the calculation.
		As is evident from the above example, there is a relationship between the stoichiometric coefficient of a species in a reaction, the rate of change of the concentration of that species, and the rate of reaction.

		There are magnitudes of difference in the amounts of energy in ordinary chemical reactions compared to nuclear reactions, the rearrangement of the nuclei of atoms to change to new elements is enormous compared to the smaller energies of chemical changes.
		Reversible reactions are symbolized in chemical equations by a double-headed arrow, but the standard remains to call the materials on the left the reactants and the materials on the right the products.
