Aligned with Module 3: Reactive Chemistry and Module 4: Drivers of Reactions, this excursion addresses the syllabus inquiry questions:
- What affects the rate of a chemical reaction?
- What is the difference between enthalpy and internal energy?
Students will explore how catalysts influence reaction rates through practical investigation, collecting and analysing first-hand data using Working Scientifically skills. Solubility-based experiments will support understanding of enthalpy and internal energy, while examining endothermic and exothermic processes.
