Year 10 Chemistry

I can describe what a catalyst does and explain how it affects the rate of reaction in terms of activation energy, and justify its use for a reaction based on experimental results.

I can compare different methods for measuring the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction and suggest improvements.

I can explain, using the collision theory, how warming or cooling a reactant will affect the rate of a reaction.

I can represent graphically and explain how the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of one of the reactants.

I can carry out a fair test to investigate how the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of a reacting solution.

I can carry out a fair test to investigate how the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of a reacting solution.

I can represent graphically and describe how the rate of reaction depends on the surface area of a solid reactant.

I can carry out a fair test to investigate how the rate of reaction depends on the surface area of a solid reactant.

I can explain why increasing pressure, surface area or concentration increases the frequency of collisions between particles and therefore the rate of reaction.

I can suggest appropriate equipment to measure the rate of reaction depending on the reaction.
