Learning Goal 1: Describe the processes occurring in oxidation and reduction reactions.
– Define the terms oxidation and reduction.
– Explain how to identify the reactants oxidized and reduced in a chemical reaction.
– Describe the oxidation and reduction processes in biological systems. Provide examples of biological chemical reactions.
Learning Goal 2: Describe how chemical reactions are affected by reaction conditions.
– What is measured by the heat of reaction?
– What is meant by the rate of a chemical reaction?
– Mention the three conditions required for a chemical reaction to occur according to Collision Theory.
– Explain how changes in temperature, the concentration of reactants, the surface area of reactants, and the addition of catalysts affect the rate of a reaction according to Collision Theory.
