Compensation effect

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002304",
  "term": "Compensation effect",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phenomenon observed in chemical kinetics where changes in activation enthalpy and activation entropy for a series of related reactions or processes are linearly correlated. This relationship suggests that factors increasing the activation energy also tend to increase the pre-exponential factor. It is often described by an isokinetic relationship.",
