| 1010 - Relative Rates |
| 1010 - Express a rate of change as the ratio of a property change over a change in time (rate = Δ X/ Δ t ; Δ X = Xf - Xi). |
| 1020 - Relate a rate of reaction to a change in extent (usually concentration) of reactants over time. |
| 1030 - Define rate of reaction as rate of change divided by the coefficient for each participant in a balanced equation. |
| 1040 - Recognize reactant coefficients are negative when applying the definition for rate of reaction. |
| 1050 - Use rate of reaction to determine the instantaneous rate of change of any reaction component. |
| 1070 - Calculate an average rate of reaction and predict a change in concentration from a plot of concentration vs. time. |
| 1080 - Know absorbance and transmittance can be measured experimentally with spectroscopy. |
| 1085 - Relate transmittance (T) to absorbance ( A = 2 log(%T) ) |

| 1100 - Solve for a rate constant (k) and its units, given a rate law, rate and initial concentrations. |
| 1030 - Integrated Rate Laws |
| 1010 - Know the form of zeroeth, first and second order rate laws integrated over time (integrated rate laws). |
| 1020 - Know which graph of [A], ln[A] or 1/[A] vs time is linear for zeroeth, first and second order reactions. |

| 1040 - Find the half-life equation of a reaction by substituting 1/2 [A]o into a zeroeth, first and second order rate law. |
| 1050 - Know half-lives are constant for first order reactions, shrink over time for zeroeth order, and grow for second order. |
| 1060 - Find the half-life or k, given the other for a first order reaction (or given the other and [A]o for a 0th or 2nd order). |
| 1070 - Relate time, concentration, half-life and initial concentration. Given three solve for the fourth. |
