Chemical kinetics and thermochemistry are two fundamental aspects of chemistry. Chemical kinetics describes on a fundamental level how chemical reactions proceed, while thermochemistry describes the energy associated with chemical and physical transformations. Together, these two concepts are able to describe many natural and chemical phenomena.
In this website resource, we provide pedagogical material and discussion to facilitate teaching of chemical kinetics and thermodynamics according to the Grade 12 curriculum (SCH4U). Detailed background information and common misconceptions of the two topics are discussed, and lesson material relevant to the OCT Foundations of Professional Practice are presented.
