- Tutor students in class content and lab procedures e.g. ELISA, SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, Western Blot, enzyme kinetics, etc.- Assist professor in creating class materials e.g. quizzes, midterm/final review materials
Explain the difference between the rate law for a reaction and the integrated rate law for a reaction. What relationship does each kind of rate law express?
What does the term half-life mean? Write the expressions for thehalf-lives of zero-order, first-order, and second-order reactions.
Explain the meaning of each term within the Arrheniusequation: activation energy, frequency factor, and exponentialfactor. Use these terms and the Arrhenius equation to explainwhy small changes in temperature can result in large changes inreaction rates.
Explain the meaning of the orientation factor in the collision model.
In a reaction mechanism, what is an elementary step? Writedown the three most common elementary steps and the correspondingrate law for each one.
What is an intermediate within a reaction mechanism?
