In #chemistry is there a special name for a process that takes a lot of time?

#GCSE

@Workshopshed Not aware of a term beyond "slow reaction."

Could borrow from computer science/embedded-systems and use "long-running process."

@Workshopshed
Boring?

You can tell I wasn’t really into Chemistry at school. πŸ˜„

@Workshopshed
Slow reaction or very slow reaction.
@Workshopshed "slow reaction" would be the description at the equivalent Scottish level. Iron rusting or rock chemically weathering are the classic examples.
@Workshopshed
a defined term I don't know. But maybe it can be described by entropy measures of high and low. Slow or reversible processes usually have less or no entropy change. Faster and irreversible processes show higher entropy increase.
