Rate and Extent of Reactions notes

This section is heat of reaction (ΔH), exothermic and endothermic reactions, and energy changes related to bond energy. You define the three official terms, then classify a reaction with a reason…

This section is activation energy, the activated complex, catalysts, and fully labelled potential-energy versus course-of-reaction graphs for catalysed and uncatalysed exothermic and endothermic…

This section is the sign of ΔH, the enthalpy / heat of reaction formula, and reading ΔH on an uncatalysed potential-energy versus course-of-reaction graph. It is not activation energy, the activated…

This section is reaction rate: the definition, the Δc/Δt calculation, rate from mass / volume / moles per time, and the list of factors that affect rate. It is not collision theory (how those…

This section is collision theory and the mechanism of reactions: effective collisions, then how each factor changes rate, then Maxwell-Boltzmann curves (number of particles against kinetic energy)…

This section is measuring rates of reaction: choose a measurable change that tracks how far a reaction has gone, match the technique to the reaction type, then interpret the table or graph the paper…
