Key Equations

$$\frac{d[\text{A}]}{dt} = -k[\text{A}] \qquad \Rightarrow \qquad [\text{A}](t) = [\text{A}]_0\,e^{-kt} \qquad \tau = \frac{1}{k}$$
$$k_0(T) = k_0^{300}\left(\frac{T}{300}\right)^{-n} \qquad k_\infty(T) = k_\infty^{300}\left(\frac{T}{300}\right)^{-m}$$
$$\text{CH}_3 + \text{O}_2 + M \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{O}_2 + M$$
$$\text{CH}_3\text{O}_2 + \text{HO}_2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{OOH} + \text{O}_2 \quad \text{(chain termination, no O}_3\text{)}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
