This is a study guide made by the

SI Leader, with information obtained from the professor. An important tactic to ensuring you get
as high a grade as possible is to find study sources wherever present. I cannot promise that
everything of this guide will be on your exam, nor can I promise that there is nothing missing
from it. This is a guideline of information covered in SI and in class. Use it carefully. Chapters
and page numbers are from the third edition of the textbook.

1. Chapter 13
a. Memorize equations from 13(pg.636)
i. Integrated Rate Law
ii. Arrhenius equation
iii. Half live expressions
b. Average rate
i. How to write it; how to calculate it
c. Order of reaction
i. Determine given a set of data such as
concentration over time
ii. Determine based off facts like units of k, plot of
concentration, natural log of concentration, or inverse of concentration vs
time.
d. Integrated rate law
i. How to use integrated rate law; plugging in
variables
e. Half lives
i. Know half life expressions for zero, first, and
second order.
ii. Know that half life of first order reactions is
independent of initial concentration
iii. Know that radioactive decay if always first order
f. Reaction Mechanisms(conceptually only)
i. Know definitions of the following:elementary
process/elementary step, molecularity, unimolecular, bimolecular,
termolecular, rate determining step, intermediate, catalysts (homogenous
and heterogenous), enzyme
ii. Know that the slow step is the rate determining step
g. Arrhenius equation
i. Know all forms of the Arrhenius equation, and the
values of all of the variables.
2. Chapter 14
a. Kc
i. How to calculate Kc given molarities.
ii. Know what states are and are not used when
calculating Kc.
iii. Know how the value of Kc tells you which way an
equilibrium will favor.
iv. Know that Kc is unitless
b. Kc to Kp
 i. Know the expression that allows you to move
between Kc and Kp.
ii. Know that Kp can be calculated in the exact same
way as Kc but using pressure rather than concentration.
c. Manipulating Kc
i. Know that you can find the Kc of an equation given
similar equations; Hesss Law
ii. Know the rules for Kc manipulation: reversing a
reaction inverts Kc; multiplying the reactants by a factor raises Kc to that
factor, when you add two equations, you multiply their Kcs.
d. Reaction Quotient
i. Know that Qc is calculated using concentrations not
at equilibrium.
ii. Know how to compare Qc and Kc and which way a
reaction will shift towards equilibrium.
e. Le Chatelier's principle
i. Know the factors that can shift Equilibrium:
adding/removing reactants or products, adding or removing heat,
increasing/decreasing pressure
f. ICE Tables
i. Know how to complete an ICE table and use it to
find concentrations at equilibrium
