Reaction rate for a reactant or product in a particular reaction is defined as the amount of the chemical that is formed or removed (in moles or mass units) per unit time per unit volume.
In chemical kinetics a reaction rate constant quantifies the speed of a chemical reaction.
Reaction rate constant = k = A e(-Ea/RT)
Recall from Collision Theory that in order for a reaction to occur, two molecules must collide in the proper orientation and possess a minimum amount of energy to react. This equation accounts for all of the requirements of Collision Theory. The factor A represents the frequency of collisions between two molecules in the proper orientation for reaction to occur. The value of A is determined by experiment and will be different for every reaction.
The value of the exponential term (e-Ea/RT) describes the fraction of molecules with the minimum energy required to react. R is the gas constant, 8.314 J/mol-K, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Ea is the Activation Energy. Warning! Activation Energy is often given in the units of kJ/mol, while R is in J/mol-K. Don't forget that factor of 1000!

most chemical reactions obey one of three differential rate laws. Each rate law contains a constant, k, called the rate constant. The units for the rate constant depend upon the rate law, because the rate always has units of mole L-1 sec-1 and the concentration always has units of mole L-1...Zero-Order Reaction... For a zero-order reaction, the rate of reaction is a constant.... When the limiting reactant is completely consumed, the reaction abrupts stops

One who comes with an obscene price tag but fails to deliver the goods; in the case of a striker it may not necessarily mean scoring an avalanche of goals because he may be effective in creating play, setting up and assisting etc. One such player may be Nicholas Anelka. Darren Bent (Spurs), Schevchenko (Chelsea) is "overrated" because they cost too much, delivers little while expensive signing Michael Ballack is never overrated given the time and exposure to show his qualities (look at him now, the live-wire of Chelsea) David Beckham is highly rated for his prowess, his specialties and DO deliver; therefore definitely NOT overrated not in the least bit. His touches can often result in a win for the team. (I've always viewed Becks from a football point of view, never the celeb bit).

it's how easy the reaciton takes place esentially, but this belongs in science, and chemistry subsection as well
