Rate Determining Step and Catalysts

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students investigate the rate determining step in a chemical reaction and how catalysts effect reactions. In this rate determining step and catalyst instructional activity, students work in groups to perform 5 tasks. They rotate each task and time how long the tasks take to complete. They compare their answer and conclude the rate determining step (the slowest step). Students use liver blood and hydrogen peroxide to observe the rate determining step of the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide.
