Document Summary

For problem-solving practice on the "review topics" listed below, you may use: Problems solved in class (see "lecture notes"); Problems solved in the short videos posted in the "videos for better understanding" folder; Textbook "conceptual connections" within the chapter (detailed answers at the end of the corresponding chapter); Textbook "self-assessment quizzes" at the end of each chapter (answers on the same page) - only questions related to the topics below; Practice questions in the "practice questions" folder; Problems solved in the "review session": chemical kinetics: 14. 2-14. 6; 14. 8. Know how to identify activation energy, enthalpy of reaction, and transition state on a reaction energy diagram; Catalysts (definition; explain how they work; examples: catalytic converters; enzymes); Size of particle and orientation of particles (= steric factors). Integrated rate laws (equations, plots, slopes of plots, units of k; see also the kinetics lab); Know how to determine the half-life from given reactant concentrations, based on given integrated rate laws;
