Kinetics deals with how fast chemical process occur. In the simplest case of unimolecular decay: A->B, species A undergoes some transformation to become species B. The rate of change of A into B can be cast as a simple differential equation:
∂tA[t] == -k A[t]
where the constant k is the rate constant. For chemical species, A[t] represents the concentration. This is subject to the initial condition that A[0] = Ao. This simple differential equation can be integrated
DSolve[{∂tA[t] == -k A[t], A[0] == Ao}, A[t], t] {{A[t] -> Ao E^(-k t)}}
to produce an exponentially decaying population (or concentration) of A.
