CHEMISTRY
Reaction Rates
(AOCRR)
Formats: Interactive Web, CD-ROM
O V E R V I E W
This interactive unit is designed to familiarize trainees with basic concepts associated with the rates at which chemical reactions occur. After completing this unit, trainees should be able to describe two factors that determine the rates of reactions, and the effects of temperature, pressure, concentration, and surface area on reaction rates. They should also be able to describe how catalysts affect reaction rates and how temperature and pressure affect equilibrium reactions.
O B J E C T I V E S
Reaction Rate Factors
- Define reaction rate.
- Explain how chemical reactions occur and describe two factors that determine the rates of reactions.
- Describe the effects of temperature, pressure, concentration, and surface area on reaction rates.
Catalysts
- Define catalyst.
- Describe how adsorption catalysts work.
- Explain how some catalysts can become poisoned.
- Describe how catalysts work by forming an intermediate product during a reaction.
Equilibrium Reactions
- Define equilibrium and equilibrium point.
- Describe the effects of temperature and pressure on an equilibrium reaction.
- Describe one way that products can be stabilized.
