Learning Paths
Each learning path is one chapter: a guided route through a topic, one small course at a time. Pick a class to see its chapters in order.
Chapter 23
Rate of Reaction, Rate Law and Order, Integrated Rate Equations and Half-Life, Temperature, the Arrhenius Equation and Collision Theory
Some reactions finish in a flash and others take years. A rusting nail, rising dough and a medicine in the blood all have a speed that can be measured and controlled. In this chapter you learn the rate of a reaction, the rate law and order, the integrated rate equations and half-life, and how temperature and catalysts change the speed. Python fits rate data and plots concentration against time.
