Big Idea: Rates of chemical reactions are determined by the details of the molecular collisions.
Learning Objectives:
Learning objective 4.3 The student is able to connect the half-life of a reaction to the rate constant of a first-order reaction and justify the use of this relation in terms of the reaction being a first-order reaction.
Learning objective 4.4 The student is able to connect the rate law for an elementary reaction to the frequency and success of molecular collisions, including connecting the frequency and success to the order and rate constant, respectively.
Learning objective 4.7 The student is able to evaluate alternative explanations, as expressed by reaction mechanisms, to determine which are consistent with data regarding the overall rate of a reaction, and data that can be used to infer the presence of a reaction intermediate.
Reminders:
*Quizzes: Any quiz can be retaken once on your time (not in class)
