In this lesson on Rate of Chemical Reactions, which is part of Unit 3 Area of Study 2, you will learn about:
- Chemical reactions with reference to collision theory, including qualitative interpretation of Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curves
- The comparison of exothermic and endothermic reactions including their enthalpy changes and representations in energy profile diagrams
- Factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction including temperature, surface area concentration of solutions, gas pressures and presence of a catalyst
- The role of catalysts in changing the rate of chemical
Enthalpy Level Diagrams
Factors Affecting Equilibrium
A TedEd video modelling how the many factors affect equilibrium. How temperature, concentration, volume, and pressure can increase or decrease the rate of reaction.
