Rates & mechanisms of fast reactions Pedagogical Context
Erase (or blur) lab/lecture boundaries
Make the experiment environment integral in interactive tutorials and guided inquiry materials:
- How can the rate of this reaction best be monitored?
- How do environmental factors (pH, temperature, concentration…) affect reaction rate?
- How can the rate of the reaction be controlled, or optimized?
- How does reaction rate change for a series of similar reactants?
