Define the term 'rate of reaction'.
Think about what it measures in a chemical reaction.
What effect does increasing concentration have on most reactions?
Consider how collisions between particles might be affected.
What is the primary focus of chemical kinetics?
Think about the definition of kinetics.
True or False: A catalyst increases the activation energy of a reaction.
Recall the role of a catalyst in equations.
A reaction has a rate constant of 0.5 s⁻¹. If the initial concentration of reactant A was 2 M, how long will it take for the concentration to fall to half of its original value? Assume it’s a first-order reaction.
Remember to apply the half-life formula.
For the reaction A → B, the following rate law was experimentally determined: Rate = k[A][B]². If the concentration of A is doubled, how does this affect the rate of the reaction?
Think about how the order of the reaction relates to rates.
