what you need to know!
Chemical reactivity is limited to rates of reaction and equilibrium principles.
Rates of reaction involve:
- factors affecting rates of reaction – restricted to changes in concentration, temperature, surface area, and the presence of a catalyst
- using collision theory to explain the factors (includes activation energy).
Equilibrium principles are limited to:
- the dynamic nature of equilibrium
- the effect of changes in temperature, concentration, pressure, or addition of a catalyst on equilibrium systems
- the significance of the equilibrium constant (Kc) for homogeneous systems. This may involve calculations
- the nature of acids and bases in terms of proton transfer
- properties of aqueous solutions of strong and weak acids and bases including ionic species. The properties are restricted to conductivity, rate of reaction, and pH
- calculations involving Kw and pH (restricted to strong acids and bases).
