Effect of concentration on the reaction rate. Rate equation

At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– explain how concentration affects reaction rates
– discuss the effect of concentration in terms of the collision theory
– explain the effect of pressure on the rate of reactions taking place in the gas phase
– define the rate equation, rate constant and order of reaction
– determine a rate equation from the relative rates at various concentrations of reactants
– use rate equations for predicting relative and actual reaction rates
– explain why the contact area affects the rate of heterogeneous reactions.
