Chemistry Full Notes for Advanced Level (Form 5 & 6) PDF
CHEMISTRY FULL NOTES FOR ADVANCED LEVEL: Chemistry is the study of matter. It examines its composition, characteristics, and behavior to determine how they change in the course of chemical processes.
Chemists, or scientists who research chemistry, look at the characteristics of matter, how different compounds interact with one another, and other related topics. Physics and biology are tightly tied to chemistry. Physical sciences include physics and chemistry. In fact, several texts use the exact same definitions for physics and chemistry.

CHEMICAL KINETIC
Chemical kinetics is the study of speed or rate of chemical reaction under different conditions and mechanisms of the reaction.
RATE LAW
The law states that “The rate of reaction is direct proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to the power of equal to the order of the reaction”
Where K = Rate constant (Velocity constant)
By definition;
Rate constant is a constant of proportionality in the rate equation which is the measure of the speed with which a reaction is taking place at the given temperature
The units of K depends on the order of reaction
Order of reaction this is the number which shows the manner with which the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants.
Order of reaction can only be obtained experimentally and cannot be deduced from overall balanced equation.
