Collision Theory and Rates of Reaction

AS Chemistry: Kinetics (OCR)

3 Full Lesson Bundle which covers the Kinetics chapter from the OCR AS Level Chemistry Specification (may also suitable for the AQA and Edexcel Spec- see Learning Objectives below to confirm) Lesson 1: Collision Theory & Rates of Reaction **1. To explain the effect of concentration (including pressure of gases only) on the rate of reaction in terms of the frequency of collisions **2. To calculate the rate of reaction using the gradients of a concentration-time graph **3. To describe the techniques and procedures used to investigate reaction rates including the measurement of mass, gas volumes and concentration Lesson 2: Catalysts **1. To explain the effect of concentration (including pressure of gases only) on the rate of reaction in terms of the frequency of collisions **2. To calculate the rate of reaction using the gradients of a concentration-time graph **3. To describe the techniques and procedures used to investigate reaction rates including the measurement of mass, gas volumes and concentration Lesson 3: The Boltzmann Distribution **1. To draw a labelled diagram of the Boltzmann distribution **2. To explain qualitatively the Boltzmann distribution and its relationship with activation energy **3. To explain how temperature changes and catalytic behaviour effect the proportion of molecules exceeding the activation energy and hence the reaction rate using Boltzmann distributions ***Declaimer: Please refrain from purchasing this popular resource for an interview lesson or a formal observation. 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 reviewed during these scenarios outlined above***
