Understand the role of collision theory in chemical reactions

Apply the Boltzman distribution for temperature and catalysts

Explain catalysts as providing alternative routes of lower activation energy

Calculate the order of a reaction with respect to a reagent from experimental data / graphs

Determine and use a rate equation of the form: Rate = k[A]m[B]n, where m and n are integers

Calculate the rate constant of a reaction from experimental data

Identify the rate-determining step and apply it to reaction mechanisms

Use the Arrhenius equation to determine the activation energy / investigate the effect of temperature on a rate constant
