Introduction to Module 3

Module-level Objectives

As a result of the instruction and activities in this module, you will be able to:

Evaluate the average rate of a reaction given appropriate data. Infer the instantaneous rate of a reaction given a graph. (Section 13.1 (Links to an external site.))(CO #3)
Use the stoichiometry of a reaction to express the rate of a reaction in terms of a reactant or product. (Section 13.1 (Links to an external site.))(CO #3)
Summarize reaction order and provide examples of a zeroth-, first-, and second-order reaction rate law. (Section 13.2 (Links to an external site.))(CO #3)
Write the rate law of a reaction given experimental data. Express the units of the rate constant k for a reaction. (Section 13.2 (Links to an external site.))(CO #3)
Determine the order of a reaction from its rate law. Apply the integrated rate law for a reaction to find the concentration of a reactant. (Section 13.3 (Links to an external site.))(CO #3)

Learning Objectives Lab:
At the end of this lab simulation, you will be able to:

Describe the main factors that influence the rate of a chemical reaction (reactant concentration, temperature, solvent, use of catalyst), and give examples of their effect. (COLab #4)
Assess the reaction rate of simple reactions by examining concentration data over time.(COLab #4)
Explain the relation between temperature and reaction rate.(COLab #4)
Describe the relation between collision theory and activation energy.(COLab #4)
Interpret reaction energy diagrams, and relate them to energy changes during the course of a reaction.(COLab #4)
