Hello,
I am wondering, why is it that
##\frac {d[C]}{dt} \ne k[C]## in general, where ##C## is a chemical species, and the product ##k[C]## is the reaction rate, ##r##. ##r_{c} = k[C]##
My thoughts is that because the units aren't necessarily the same, therefore they can't be the same. But I was wondering about a more physical explanation.
