Lesson 8: Revision Lesson

Learning Objectives:

Lesson 1:

LO1: To recall the terms rate of reaction, order, overall order and rate constant
LO2: To describe how orders of reactants affect the rate of a reaction
LO3: To calculate the overall order of a reaction

Lesson 2:

LO1: To determine the order of a reactant from experimental data
LO2: To calculate the rate constant, K, from a rate equation
LO3: To calculate the units of the rate constant

Lesson 3&4:

LO1: To know the techniques and procedures used to investigate reaction rates
LO2: To calculate reaction rates using gradients from concentration-time graphs
LO3: To deduce zero & first order reactants from concentration-time graphs
LO4: To calculate the rate constant of a first order reactant using their half-life

Lesson 5:

LO1: To determine the rate constant for a first order reaction from the gradient of a rate- concentration graph
LO2: To understand how rate-concentration graphs are created
LO3: To explain how clock reactions are used to determine initial rates of reactions

Lesson 6:

LO1: To explain and use the term rate determining step
LO2: To deduce possible steps in a reaction mechanism from the rate equation and the balanced equation for the overall reaction
LO3: To predict the rate equation that is consistent with the rate determining step

Lesson 7:
LO1: Explain qualitatively the effect of temperature change on a rate constant,k, and hence the rate of a reaction
LO2: To Know the exponential relationship between the rate constant, k and temperature, T given by the Arrhenius equation, k = Ae–Ea/RT
LO3: Determine Ea and A graphically using InK = -Ea/RT+ InA derived from the Arrhenius equation

Lesson 8:

This is an engaging KS5 revision lesson the Kinetics topic in A Level Chemistry (Year 13)

Students will be able to complete three challenging question rounds on kinetics covering:

This is because planning your own lessons, including using your own lesson PowerPoints, is a fundamental skill of a qualified/unqualified teacher that will be assessed during the scenarios outlined above
