Equilibrium and fast reaction kinetic studies of intramolecularyly hydrogen-bonded acids

Equilibrium measurements describe an acid-base system when net changes are zero and therefore. indicate the relative thermodynamic stability of the various species when the system is at rest. Kinetics is concerned with the dynamics. of the: system. Fundamentally, it deals with two aspects: the mechanism whereby a system changes from one state' to another and the time required for the transition.
