Topics and Learning Outcomes
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 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 E a and A from the temperature variation of the rate constant
know how catalysts effect the rate of reactions without altering equilibrium constants
