This project was preformed to supply Libretext authors with videos on General Chemistry topics which can be used to enhance their projects. Also, these videos are meant to act as a learning resource for all General Chemistry students.

Video Topics

From collision theory we get: Rate = CPe^-Ea/RT[A][BC]
These relations are summarized by The Arrhenius Equation k = Ae^-Ea/RT
The Arrhenius Equation shows that k changes with Ea and T
To look at how k changes with temperature use the integrated form of the Arrhenius equation.
Ln(k2/k1) = (Ea/R)(1/T1 - 1/T2)

This video contains the solution to the followed problem:

If k = 2.15 x 10-8 1/M∙s at 650 K and the activation energy is 182 kJ/mol what would be k at 700 K?
