-Calculate concentrations and plot graphs of concentration vs time

Q/A: Compare speeds of different reactions (precipitation vs rusting). Define reaction rate as "measure of how much reactants are consumed or products formed per unit time." Introduce collision theory: particles must collide with minimum energy (activation energy) for successful reaction. Draw energy diagram showing activation energy barrier. Discuss factors affecting collision frequency and energy.
