What You'll Learn
Define activation energy as the minimum energy required for a successful collision
Interpret energy diagrams for exothermic and endothermic reactions
Calculate reaction rates using change in measurable quantity over change in time
Apply molar ratios to determine rates of reactants and products in chemical equations
Convert between different units of rate (grams per minute, litres per hour, moles per second)
What You'll Practice
1
Calculating rate of reaction from mass or volume changes over time
2
Converting rates between different time units using conversion factors
3
Using molar ratios to find consumption and production rates of different substances
4
