Module 3 | Reactive chemistry
Content 3: Rates of reactions
Lesson 1 | Rates of reactions
-
conduct a practical investigation, using appropriate tools (including digital technologies), to collect data, analyse and report on how the rate of a chemical reaction can be affected by a range of factors, including but not limited to:
– temperature
– surface area of reactant(s)
– concentration of reactant(s)
– catalysts (ACSCH042) -
investigate the role of activation energy, collisions and molecular orientation in collision theory
-
explain a change in reaction rate using collision theory (ACSCH003, ACSCH046)
Lesson 2 | Spontaneous reactions
-
predict the reaction of metals in solutions using the table of standard reduction potentials
-
predict the spontaneity of redox reactions using the value of cell potentials
