Autokatalyyttisiä
Autokatalyyttisiä refers to a process where a reaction product acts as a catalyst for the reaction itself. This phenomenon is known as autocatalysis. In an autocatalytic reaction, the rate of the reaction increases over time as the concentration of the product, which is also the catalyst, increases. This leads to a characteristic acceleration in the reaction rate.
Autocatalytic reactions are often observed in chemical kinetics. A simple example is the reaction where a substance
Examples of autocatalytic processes can be found in various fields beyond pure chemistry. In biology, some
