Chemical kinetics is the branch of chemistry that studies the rates of chemical reactions and the factors that influence these rates. It examines how quickly reactants convert into products, the speed of individual steps in a reaction mechanism, and the effects of various conditions on reaction rates. Chemical kinetics is important for understanding how reactions occur and for optimizing the conditions under which they proceed.
