Weight (mass) %
• Percent by volume: milliliters of
mass of solute x 100% solute/milliliters of solution (then
multiplied by 100%)
% by mass = mass of solute + mass of solvent
ROULT’s Law
Psolution = Xsolvent Posolvent
Psolution = the vapor pressure of a mixture of solute and solvent
Po = the vapor pressure of the pure solvent
Xsolvent = the mole fraction of the solvent.

Uncatalyzed reaction
Catalyzed reaction
• Reaction Mechanisms, Overall Reaction, Molecularity (unimolecular, bi molecular etc for each
Step in a multistep reaction pathway)
• Intermediates
• Rate Detreminating step is the slowest step and makes up the overall reaction rate law.
