Collision Theory: When two chemicals react, their molecules have to collide with each other (in a particular orientation) with sufficient energy for the reaction to take place.

MECHANISM: “The detailed molecular processes by which a chemical reaction proceeds.” A series of “elementary steps” which combine to give an observed net reaction.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a framework for determining the reaction rate given a detailed statement of the reaction chemistry. The stoichiometry of an elementary reaction …

3. Method of initial rates. The favorite of every kinetics exam in general chemistry, you will be given a series of varying concentrations and a rate and from this asked to determine the …

In this experiment, you will be performing a Grignard reaction (see Figure 3). You will first synthesize the Grignard reagent starting from bromobenzene and magnesium using ether as …

Response and reaction are very different things. They may look alike but they feel completely different. When something happens to you and you immediately act, that is a reaction. There …

A PowerPoint for this lesson is available at http://sciencespot.net/Media/ChemReactions.ppt. ts complete the chart. We also add letters and colors in the third column to help them focus on …
