Re: "N" in Kinetics
The N refers to the order of the reaction. So a first order reaction, where the N is 1, means that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants. r = k[A]^1

Re: "N" in Kinetics
The order of a reaction also indicates to what extent the concentration has an effect on the rate, as well as which species has the greatest effect.
