Aim :
Learning Outcomes :
2. state the effect of doubling the concentration of a reactant on the rate of a first order
and second order reaction.
3. state the integrated form of the rate equations for a first and second order reaction.
Students should already be familiar with terms rate equation, rate constant and order of
reaction.

Questions in the student notes are designed to enable all students to complete the activity.
The pop-up answers are provided for the students to view when they have considered their
responses. Worksheet questions include questions that require recall, understanding and
application of the new concepts learned.

The [H+] is increased by 10 times.
As the reaction is first order with respect to H+, the rate also increases
R
by 10 times. Hence, 1 = 10
