Episode 4 — Rate & Extent of Reactions

Rate and Extent of Reaction Rate and Extent of Reaction

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the factors that affect the rate of redox reactions. • Explain how the surface area of reactants affects the speed of a reaction. • Describe the role of oxygen in combustion reactions and explain why pure oxygen can cause explosions. • Apply the concept of catalysts to real-world examples, including car engines and chemical processes. • Interpret the function of catalytic converters in reducing emissions from cars. • Explain how enzymes act as catalysts in biological systems.
