Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Chemical Kinetics after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Rate of reaction = change in concentration per unit time.
  • Average rate uses Δt and changes over a finite interval.
  • Instantaneous rate uses dt and represents the true rate.
  • Higher concentration means more collisions.
  • Higher temperature usually increases rate.
  • Greater surface area increases rate for solids.
  • Law of mass action is a theoretical concept.
  • Rate law is determined experimentally.
  • Active mass is represented by concentration or partial pressure.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Order of reaction is the same as molecularity.

Rate law can be written directly from the balanced chemical equation.

If a reaction has one coefficient, its molecularity is that coefficient from the overall equation.
