Rate of Reaction & Energy Changes Mastery Workshop
Rate of Reactions & Energy Changes are both conceptual topics in basic Chemistry. In both topics, questions will be asked in an indirect way that require students to use their Chemistry Concepts to apply on them. Memorisation & Rote Learning will not help students to score their grades here. It is highly application-based!
“It was very good, and the air-con helped us to stay awake, and the PRE & POST Tests helped us to be alert. The loud voice (Sean’s) helped us to focus, and the boards were used very effectively. It was good. The only bad point was “lack of time” =). The flip-charts were pretty helpful to help us have a brief recap. All the Time Limits helped to train us to be fast & accurate in exams. It’s good that our parents were contacted because it shows us the thoughtfulness.”

In Rate of Reaction & Energy Changes Mastery Workshop, students will learn:
RATE OF REACTION:
- Effects of Concentration, Pressure, Particle size & Temperature on the speeds of reactions and explain these effects in terms of collisions between reacting particles
- What is a Catalyst & effects on the speeds of reactions
- Strategies to interpret data obtained from experiments in the form of Rate Graphs
ENERGY CHANGES:
- Meaning of enthalpy change in terms of Exothermic (?H negative) & Endothermic (?H positive) reactions
- Strategies to draw Energy Profile Diagrams & Energy Level Diagrams to represent energy changes including reaction enthalpy changes & activation energies
- How to determine bond breaking as an endothermic process & bond making as an exothermic process
- How to explain overall enthalpy changes in terms of the energy changes associated with the breaking & making of covalent bonds
- Describe how Hydrogen Fuel Cells work as alternative clean fuel

“Through the 4 days of revising the Chemistry Concepts, I have finally grasped all the important chemical formulas that I am usually weak at. This workshop had been effective as Sean has covered all the killer topics in o-level chemistry exams, and made it easier to attempt the questions by different approach. Overall, I had enjoyed this workshop.”
Nurul Arinie, Regent Secondary School 2009
“Elizabeth used to be not good in Chemistry. In fact, she hates Chemistry and never seems to do well for Chemistry tests & exams. Recently, her teacher is surprised that she showed so much interest during Chemistry Class and said that she seems to have a 360 degree turn in her interest towards Chemistry.
I am confident that with her renewed interest in Chemistry, she will do well for her ‘O’ Levels.”
Florence, parent of Elizabeth Ng, Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School 2009
“This programme has helped me revise my chemistry concepts and has help me to understand the concepts in which I didn’t before. This workshop has helped me to strengthen my foundation in Chemistry.”
