Less understood concepts in kinetics and mechanism like 'Role of stoichiometry in deriving different rates'. Fallacy in the, application of 'Law of Mass Action to Rates and Chemical Equlibrium', 'Misconception about zero order reaction', 'Reaction- scheme and Mechanism' and 'Concentration and time orders, and Mechanism' are described and explained.
