Define acid, base, neutralisation, activation energy, rate, catalyst, collision theory.
Why does increasing temperature (concentration, SA) increase the rate of reaction?
How does a catalyst work and why does it work for a long time before it needs to be replaced?
Draw graphs to show: twice as much acid used; concentration of acid halved, temperature doubled for the acid & marble chips experiment.
