Could somebody explain to me what "apparent kinetic" means?

thnks

Search wikipedia - Enzyme kinetic - it is easy

Thks.

Unfortunately Michaelis–Menten is not what I was looking for.  :-[

I've read that by measuring reaction's products behaviour (from combustion) over the time, it is possible to calculate just an apparent kinetic.
What does "apparent" here mean?

I might be wrong, but I would say that "apparent kinetics" is a correlation between concentrations of reagents (or pressure) and reaction rate as it observed during the experiment or study. Quite often, it represents mass transfer or reactor design rather a chemical reaction.
