9.1—Understand, in terms of the collision theory, the effect of changes in concentration, temperature, pressure and surface area

9.2—Reactions take place only when collisions have sufficient energy, known as the activation energy

9.3—The rate of a reaction from: i the time taken for a reaction

9.4—Qualitatively, in terms of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of molecular energies, how changes in temperature affect

9.5—The role of catalysts in providing alternative reaction routes of lower activation energy

9.6—Draw the reaction profiles for uncatalysed and catalysed reactions

9.7—The use of catalysts in industry to make processes more sustainable by using less energy and/or higher atom economy

9.8—Interpret the action of a catalyst in terms of a qualitative understanding of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
