Kinetics - zoom!

Students, please visit http://www.chm.davidson.edu/ChemistryApplets/kinetics/IntegratedRateLaws.html for an interactive application for kinetics that you may find enhances your understanding.

A second place to visit is http://www.wwnorton.com/college/chemistry/gilbert/overview/ch14.htm where you will find further explanation about kinetics.

A third site which really helps to understand the different graphs associated with integrated rate law is found at http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/howtosolveit/Kinetics/IntegratedRateLaws.html

This unit encompasses chapters 14 and 15, kinetics and equilibrium. Suggested problems for chapter 14 include 7, 15, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 37, 45, 47, 51, 53, 55, 61, 65, and 67. Suggested problems for chapter 15 are 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 37, 39, 41, 43, 49, 51, and 53. Do remember that these are merely suggestions of the problems you might want to work. There is nothing to stop you from working as many as you like. In fact, I encourage you to work many to ensure that you understand the concepts fully.

I will give you a packet later this week which includes the excess AP exam questions. Two new sets of UTexas problems will be available. We'll discuss a plausible test date.

A site for help with equilibrium problems is http://www.chem.vt.edu/chem-ed/courses/equil/toc.html . Only look at parts I, II, and III for now. You may refer back to this in the next unit for acids and bases.

A second explanatory site for equilibrium is http://www.shodor.org/UNChem/advanced/equ/index.html.
