Abstract

The paper concerns the most probable physical–chemical reasons of observing the kinetic compensation effects which arise at the experimental kinetic studies of complex stepwise reactions in both homogeneous systems and homological set of solid or heterogeneous systems. It is shown that, in the former case, the reason for such effects is the existence of an ‘isokinetic’ temperature when the change of the rate determining step does occur. In the latter case, the reason of the effects reflects “polychromatic” nature of kinetics of chemical transformations in heterogeneous systems as well as a peculiarity of arranging the experimental kinetic studies of such “polychromatic” processes.
