Study Plan
Learn the Theory
Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: Rate of a Chemical Reaction, Rate Law and Order of Reaction, Zero, First, and Second Order Reactions.
Practise
Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 47 questions available for this chapter.
Revise & Test
Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.
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 = Change in concentration / Time
- Units: mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹
- Rate is expressed with stoichiometric coefficients to make it consistent for all species
- Average rate is over a time interval
- Instantaneous rate is at a specific time
- Instantaneous rate is the slope of the tangent to the concentration-time curve
- Rate increases with concentration and temperature
- Catalyst lowers activation energy
- Physical state and surface area also affect rate
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The order of a reaction is always equal to the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation.
Rate constant (k) changes when concentration of reactants changes.
Half-life of a reaction is always the time taken for concentration to become half, so it depends on initial concentration.
Memory Tips
Rate of Reaction = Change in concentration / Time
Average Rate vs Instantaneous Rate
Rate = -1/2 Δ[NO]/Δt = -Δ[Br₂]/Δt = +1/2 Δ[NOBr]/Δt
Rate Law: Rate = k[A]^x[B]^y
