Rates of reaction

Question 1

explain the concepts
associated with reaction
rates;

Include a study of rate
constant, order of reaction,
half-life, rate-determining
step, activation energy,
collision theory, (simple
treatment only), and
catalysis. Include enzymes
in industrial and biological
processes.

Question 2

design suitable
experiments for studying
the factors which affect
rates of reactions;

Include effects of
concentration, temperature
and catalysts.

Question 3

explain the effect of
temperature and catalysts
on the rate of the reaction
using Boltzmann
distribution of energies (and
of collision frequency).
Include the use of
Boltzmann distribution
