Chemical Kinetics determine the rate law from experimental data, including the rate constant and its units identify the reaction order from the rate law use the integrated rate law and half life for 1st order reactions recognize the effect of temperature on reaction rates and be able to use the Arrhenius equation in calculations recognize that chemical reactions result from multistep processes called reaction mechanisms recognize the role of activation energy and collision frequency in determining rates work out a rate law from a simple proposed mechanism draw reaction profile diagrams for multi-step reactions with appropriate activation energies and intermediates calculate Ea and A from the temperature variation of the rate constant know how catalysts effect the rate of reactions without altering equilibrium constants explain the Michaelis-Menton mechanism of enzyme catalysis use the steady-state approximation to derive the rate law for a multi-step reaction involving a reactive intermediate
