Reaction Rates and Kinetics
Virginia SOL CHII.6
Investigate and understand that rates of a chemical reaction can be observed, measured, and predicted.
What students need to be able to do
- Plan and conduct investigations to determine how factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
- Make, support, and evaluate a claim about why a chemical reaction may or may not occur.
- Evaluate experimental data to determine the rate and rate law expression for a reaction.
- Make, support, and evaluate a claim about why a given reaction mechanism is consistent with experimental evidence for a specific reaction.
