Reaction Kinetics

Hi...was just wondering how much detail people had gone into in their research on reaction kinetics, for example if they'd done notes and stuff on things like how the size of particle of a solid reactant affects the speeds of reactions, or if for the moment just noting simple facts like that is enough??? Thanx Katie

Yes Katie, looking at how various factors such as particle size (i.e. surface area), concentration, temperature, etc, affect the rate of reaction would be useful in terms of revising your prior learing about reaction kinetics.

Also, see if you can find out anything about the RATE EQUATION, the RATE CONSTANT (given the symbol 'k') and ORDERS OF REACTION - this will be the new learning that'll be cover during the rest of this term.
