year 12 work for paternity leave

Right then. I'll be back in on Friday, but to keep you going you need to read up about kinetics (rates of reaction) on pages 106-109 of your AS text book. If you didn't get one you'd better sort yourself out with one from the prep room in Science (£20 deposit that you can get back when you return it).

Most of the kinetics stuff eg. collision theory, is very similar to your GCSE work. The only significant new content is the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of molecular energies (look it up and make sure you can draw, label and explain the graphs appropriately for different temperatures).

Obviously this is only a short topic for module 2, and should be quite straightforward for you to get to grips with yourself. Make sure you try these questions on the downloadable worksheet below.

You will need to get some graph paper to complete this. I'll post some answers later in the week.

Also have a look at this to help your understanding of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

Finally, try some of the questions on pages 110-111 of the text book to check your understanding (answers are in the back).

As long as you are up to date with this work you will be fine Nathan. We did not have a lesson anyway on Friday 29th as this is the one I cannot cover from Mr Shan's timetable.
