study of the rate at which compounds react," and is dependent upon the area between the materials, their composition and concentrations and the temperature that causes this reaction to take
place (Kinetics, 2002). In kinetics, there is the basic assumption that all physical matter (solids, liquids and gases) is composed of small molecular particles that are in a constant
state of motion. These particles will collide with great force when the temperature of the physical matter is raised. This collision will cause the area between the matter
to expand, and the matter to ultimately break down. What is known about kinetics is based upon a series of scientific and mathematical theories that have evolved over
centuries of intensive research. Robert Boyle is considered to be the earliest of the kinetics theorists, and around 1660, he developed a chemical "law" which asserted that pressure increases
as the volume of a gas decreases (Brush, 2002). Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei also studied motion in detail (Feather, 1959); however, there can be little doubt that the father
of kinetics would have to be Isaac Newton, for much of the foundation for contemporary research was laid by his laws of motion. According to Newtons laws, "Law
1. Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it is compelled to change that state by
forces impressed on it. Law 2. The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the moving force impressed on it, and is effective in
the direction in which that force is impressed. Law 3. An action is always opposed by an equal reaction; or, the mutual actions of two bodies are always
