In these four lessons on chemical kinetics, we'll look at factors affecting reaction rates. We'll also plot potential energy against the progress of a reaction to show energy of activation and to determine spontaneity, endothermic and exothermic reactions. Additionally, we'll learn about order of reactions and the relationship between order and rate expressions. We'll also look at the determination of constant value, half-life, zero and first order reactions. The third lesson in the series will walk through a series of problems dealing with 1st order reactions (half-life, time of reactions, quantities consumed, etc.) are worked. Additionally, carbon dating is explained and problems solved. The last lesson in the series will discuss second order reactions. We'll also plot and work problems involving these types of reactions. Overall order of reactions and the Arrhenius equation precede a study of reaction mechanisms.

In addition to the full video lessons included in this series, you will also get access to lesson-specific note guides that can be viewed and downloaded once this series is purchased. These lessons are part of a full course, College Chemistry II (Inorganic) that is available through MindBites or in DVD format from the Chemistry Professor
