GCSE/KS4 Chemistry: Rates of Reaction

KS4 / GCSE Chemistry – Rates of Reaction

✅  Learn or revise complicated concepts easily
✅  Information broken down into short chunks
✅  Full-colour illustrations on every page

Looking at how fast different reactions occur is an essential chemistry skill. This revision pack covers how students can accurately measure these reactions and what the reaction times can tell them. The Rates of reaction revision pack makes learning the core information quick and simple, helping students understand more clearly why reaction rates matter.

Broken down into bite sized chunks, this Rates of Reaction GCSE revision guide will help students understand (and remember!) the key facts about carrying out chemical experiments and measuring reaction times.

Each numbered section is clearly laid out and illustrated to aid understanding, making it more accessible to all students, irrespective of their reading ability, with beautiful images to highlight each key point.

Written by Dr Timothy Danks, former Head of Science at The Oratory School and a tutor for over 25 years, the Rates of Reaction revision pack brings GCSE revision to life in a visual and highly memorable way, helping students utilise this important skill in their chemistry work.

Topics Covered Include:

• Glossary of keywords
• Reactants and products
• Types of reactants and products
• Measuring rates of reaction involving a gas
• Collision theory
• Activation energy and its importance in reaction time
