MOE Syllabus OutcomesMOE: Reaction Kinetics - JC1

About This Topic

Exploring how temperature and catalysts influence the frequency and success of collisions.

Key Questions

  1. Explain why a small increase in temperature leads to a large increase in the rate of reaction?
  2. Analyze how a catalyst provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy?
  3. Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis at the molecular level?
