Dimerisaatiokonstanssi
Dimerisaatiokonstanssi is a term used in physical chemistry and chemical thermodynamics to describe the equilibrium constant for the dimerization of a substance. Dimerization is a process where two molecules of a substance combine to form a single molecule, a dimer. This equilibrium can be represented by a reversible reaction. For a generic monomeric species A, the dimerization reaction is: 2A <=> A2.
The dimerisation constant, often denoted as K_dim or K_d, quantifies the extent to which this dimerization occurs
A high dimerisation constant indicates that the dimerization reaction is highly favored, meaning a significant portion
