Rates and Equilibrium: Reactions in Motion: Science Unit 7, Grade 10 (Letters & Devotion)

Description

Rates and Equilibrium: Reactions in Motion is Unit 7 of Chemistry in the Kitchen and Beyond: Matter, Energy, and Change (Part 2) (Grade 10), the Letters & Devotion Science course, complete in one printable PDF: 11 lessons, the unit check-up and the answer key, 90 pages.

• The four factors affecting reaction rate (concentration, temperature, surface area, catalyst)
• Collision theory as the mechanism linking temperature to reaction rate
• Energy diagrams showing activation energy and overall energy change
• Dynamic equilibrium as a state of equal forward and reverse rates
• The distinction between dynamic equilibrium and a static or stopped state
• Le Chatelier’s principle applied to concentration and temperature stressors
• Le Chatelier’s principle extended to an unpracticed stressor type
• The equilibrium constant expression and its relationship to balanced-equation mole ratios
• The relationship between the magnitude of Keq and the relative amounts of products versus reactants at equilibrium
• A controlled experimental design isolating one rate factor using tablet-dissolving reaction time as the dependent measure
• Experimental rate data from the tablet-dissolving investigation

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
