infoWhy this? Rate equations quantify how reactant concentrations affect reaction rates, allowing us to determine reaction orders and rate constants from experimental evidence. These relationships help predict reaction behaviour and assess whether proposed mechanisms are consistent with observations.

scheduleWhy now? Year 12 kinetics and concentration calculations provide the foundation for extracting mathematical relationships from rate data. The mechanisms and catalysts already encountered supply contexts for connecting measured rates with possible reaction pathways.
