Topic 5.1 Reaction Rates
Topic 5.1 Reaction Rates

*Explain the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and experimental parameters.


Topic 5.2 Introduction to Rate Law

*Represent experimental data with a consistent rate law expression.


Topic 5.3 Concentration Changes Over Time

*Identify the rate law expression of a chemical reaction using data that show how the concentrations of reaction species change over time.


Topic 5.4 Elementary reactions

*Represent an elementary reaction as a rate law expression using stoichiometry.


Topic 5.5 Collision Model

*Explain the relationship between the rate of an elementary reaction and the frequency, energy, and orientation of molecular collisions.


Topic 5.6 Reaction Energy Profile

*Represent the activation energy and overall energy change in an elementary reaction using a reaction energy profile.


Topic 5.7 Introduction to Reaction Mechanisms

*Identify the components of a reaction mechanism.
**Collection of Data pertaining to detection of a reaction intermediate WILL NOT be assessed on the AP Exam.


Topic 5.8 Reaction Mechanism and Rate Law

*Identify the rate law for a reaction from a mechanism in which the first step is rate limiting.


Topic 5.9 Steady-State Approximation

*Identify the rate law for a reaction from a mechanism in which the first step is not rate limiting.


Topic 5.10 Multistep Reaction Energy Profile

*Represent the activation energy and overall energy change in a multistep reaction with a reaction energy profile.


Topic 5.11 Catalysis

*Explain the relationship between the effect of a catalyst on a reaction and changes in the reaction mechanism.
