Rates of reaction - kinetics (A2)
Read our general notes on Risk Assessment
Sorted FAQs on Rates of Reaction.
This topic has attracted a lot of questions to Re:act over the years. To help you find the ones of most interest to you more easily, whether they are about background theory or a particular experiment, we have sorted the FAQs under the headings below.
FAQs on both introductory (usually AS) and advanced material on rates (usually A2) have been included. Users must refer to their own exam board specifications if they are in any doubt as to which level a particular FAQ is relevant. Some FAQs may appear under more than one heading:
BACKGROUND THEORY & METHODS
A. Collision theory and definitions
B. Methods
C.Order, rate constant and mechanism
D.Activation energy
PRACTICAL INVESTIGATIONS - based on the following reactions:
A. Metals + acids *
B. Peroxodisulphate - iodide
C. Iodine - propanone
D. Peroxide decomposition and 'clock' reactions
E. Thiosulphate - acid
F. Manganate(VII) - oxalate (ethanedioate)
G. Halogenoalkanes - hydrolysis
