Chapter 12 Kinetics
The goals of this unit include:
The goals of this unit include:
1. To understand the concept of chemical rate as a measurement of change in concentration of a reactant or product over time.
2. To write rate laws, determine reaction order, and solve for the rate constant, k, with appropriate units, based on supplied experimental data, including graphs.
3. To understand how reaction intermediates, catalysts, and rate-determining steps can be deduced from proposed reaction mechanisms.
