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

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

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.
