What you'll learn

Measuring amounts and controlling reactions.

Amounts

  • Relative formula mass and the mole (moles = mass ÷ Mr).
  • Concentration (g/dm³ or mol/dm³) and titrations.
  • Percentage yield.

Rates

  • Factors affecting rate: temperature, concentration, surface area, catalysts (collision theory).

Exam tips

  • Show the mole calculation clearly.
  • Explain rate changes using collision frequency and energy.

Common mistakes

  • Using mass instead of moles in ratios.
  • Forgetting a catalyst is not used up.
