  • 8.2 Effect of Temperature

    🎯 Learning outcomes After completing this lesson, you should be able to: define activation energy, EA, as the minimum energy required for a collision to be effective sketch and use the Boltzmann distribution to explain the significance of activation energy explain qualitatively, in terms both of the Boltzmann distribution and of the frequency of effective…

  • 8.1 Rate of Reactions

    🎯 Learning outcomes After completing this lesson, you should be able to: explain and use the terms rate of reaction, frequency of collisions, effective collisions and non-effective collisions explain qualitatively, in terms of the frequency of effective collisions, the effect of concentration and pressure changes on the rate of a reaction use experimental data to…

  • 24.1 Electrolysis

    24.1 Electrolysis — A Level Chemistry 🎯 Learning Outcomes Predict the identities of substances liberated during electrolysis from the state of the electrolyte (molten or aqueous), its position in the electrochemical (redox) series, and its concentration. State and apply the relationship F = Le between the Faraday constant, F, the Avogadro constant, L, and the…
