Ch 14: Reaction Rates The student should be able to: 1. define reaction rate, chemical kinetics, average rate, reactant, product, equilibrium reaction, non-equilibrium reaction, initial rate, activated complex, Ea, rate law, order, order of reaction, reaction mechanism, elementary step, intermediate, catalysis, catalyst, enzyme, substrate, inhibitor 2. Be able to identify the order of a rate equation 3. Identify the variables that affect reaction rate 4. relate the use of a catalyst to changes in reaction rate 5. describe reaction pathways and label the location of reactants, activated complex and products 6. know which substance in a chemical reaction is most easily measured to determine the rate of the reaction 7. relate kinetic molecular theory (including collision theory) to reaction rates
