  • Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on Reaction Mechanisms, Catalysts, and Reaction Coordinate Diagrams. The lesson begins with an introduction to reaction mechanisms which are a the sum of a variable number of elementary reactions. These elementary reactions are identified as either unimolecular, bimolecular, or termolecular depending upon how many reactant molecules there are. It is then explained how to identify intermediates and catalysts in a reaction mechanism. Finally, it is demonstrated how to determine the rate law of a reaction from the mechanism.
    A comprehensive description of a catalyst is then provided along with a reaction coordinate diagram. Delta H, transition state(s), intermediate(s), and the activation energy in both the forward and reverse reactions are identified on the reaction coordinate diagrams.
    I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page. Check this lesson out at www.chadsprep.com/chads-gener...

    I was wondering if you had made a video on steady-state approximation, and if not-I would greatly appreciate it if you made one! Thanks!

    • @ChadsPrep
      @ChadsPrep  2 года назад

      You're welcome Katherine. And while I don't have a video on the topic on youtube, I do use the steady state approximation as the foundation for deriving the Michaelis-Menten equation here: www.chadsprep.com/chads-elementary-biochemistry-videos/4-2a-derivation-of-the-michaelis-menten-equation/
      Hope this helps!

    Great video, thank you for posting. Question from 33:00-34:00: Is the RDS for a multistep reaction the step with the largest Ea (i.e. largest energy gap from reactant to TS for one step), or the step with the highest Ea (i.e. highest energy TS overall)? In your example the 1st step is both of these, but if the 2nd step had a slightly higher TS energy than the 1st step, would the 2nd step now become the RDS, even though the 1st step still has a larger gap from reactant energy to TS energy for that step?

    what if there is two really slow steps in a reaction? would both steps affect the overall reaction rate? i am a chem student taking chem in the summer btw and am having trouble grasping everything in such a short course. your teaching course is amazing though and has taught me more concepts instead of pure memorization. thank you!

    • @Thikra581
      @Thikra581 5 месяцев назад +1

      If you have two slow steps in the reaction, you will choose the slower one. Most times you wouldn't get a two slow step reaction, but if you do, your slower one would be the rate determinant. Both wouldn't necessarily affect the overall reaction rate, just the one that is slower.

    at 22:47, could you just not have canceled K1 and K-1 because they are worth the same value in equilibrium? And if the slow step is the second step and there is no reactants, what other work do you have left to do?

  • @kazezeze

    Thank you for the video! It did clear up some of my confusions, but I am still confused on how to find reaction rate laws. Do you think you could provide a concise explanation on how to do it? Thank you!

      You may not have realized this, but this video is part of a large playlist for General Chemistry and Rate Laws was the topic of the previous video including how to determine the rate law from experimental data: ruclips.net/video/HiKLl5-F0PM/видео.html

    hey chad how can i determine if the reaction is elementary or not? i didnt understand the diferrence. thanks

    • @ChadsPrep
      @ChadsPrep  Год назад

      an elementary reaction has a single step and a single transition state. If you look at the examples drawn around 32 minutes the left hand diagram is elementary whereas the right has more than one step (and more than one tranition state)
