How to Evaluate Steady State Approximation?

Steady State Approximation evaluator uses Singlet State Concentration for Steady State = (Equilibrium Constant for Coordinate Complexes*(1-Degree of Exciplex Formation))/(Rate Constant of Fluoroscence+Rate Constant of Non Radiative Reaction) to evaluate the Singlet State Concentration for Steady State, The Steady State Approximation formula is defined as a method used to derive a rate law. The method is based on the assumption that one intermediate in the reaction mechanism is consumed as quickly as it is generated. Its concentration remains the same in a duration of the reaction. Singlet State Concentration for Steady State is denoted by [M2S1] symbol.

To use this online evaluator for Steady State Approximation, enter Equilibrium Constant for Coordinate Complexes (Keq), Degree of Exciplex Formation (α), Rate Constant of Fluoroscence (Kf) & Rate Constant of Non Radiative Reaction (KNR) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Steady State Approximation

What is the formula to find Steady State Approximation?
The formula of Steady State Approximation is expressed as Singlet State Concentration for Steady State = (Equilibrium Constant for Coordinate Complexes*(1-Degree of Exciplex Formation))/(Rate Constant of Fluoroscence+Rate Constant of Non Radiative Reaction). Here is an example- 1.1E-9 = (9*(1-0.9))/(750+35).
How to calculate Steady State Approximation?
With Equilibrium Constant for Coordinate Complexes (Keq), Degree of Exciplex Formation (α), Rate Constant of Fluoroscence (Kf) & Rate Constant of Non Radiative Reaction (KNR) we can find Steady State Approximation using the formula - Singlet State Concentration for Steady State = (Equilibrium Constant for Coordinate Complexes*(1-Degree of Exciplex Formation))/(Rate Constant of Fluoroscence+Rate Constant of Non Radiative Reaction).
Can the Steady State Approximation be negative?
Yes, the Steady State Approximation, measured in Molar Concentration can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Steady State Approximation?
Steady State Approximation is usually measured using the Mole per Liter[mol/L] for Molar Concentration. Mole per Cubic Meter[mol/L], Mole per Cubic Millimeter[mol/L], Kilomole per Cubic Meter[mol/L] are the few other units in which Steady State Approximation can be measured.
