LEL away on Tuesday

Hello, hello...

As you know, I'm not here on Tuesday. In my absence I'd like you to do a bit of reading/watching for the topic that we are about to begin....the dreaded Y13 material.

We're going to learn about Rates of Reaction again, but with more detail and maths and stuff. Could I ask that you watch the following videos and read the following pages to gain an understanding on:

http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/basicrates/orders.html
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/chem-kinetics/reaction-rates/v/rate-law-and-reaction-order
http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/basicrates/ordermech.html#top
maybe this one:
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/chem-kinetics/reaction-rates/v/rate-of-reaction

For you to do at home:
1. Orders of reaction - what they are, how one writes them, what do they really mean?
2. Rate equations and k - how does one write it out, how is it derived, how are units for k calculatioed?

We'll cover these ideas in class:
3. Methods of measuring rate - what can we do e.g. clock reactions, progress reactions, gas collection etc
4. What are the rate graphs and what do they show?

We will do some practical work when you're back, and some calculations and then finally apply all that you now know.

There's a trendy word for this now too - it's called flipped learning.

Enjoy
Ms Elias
