How To Identify The Intermediate & Catalyst In a Reaction Mechanism - Kinetics Chemistry

This chemistry video tutorial explains how to identify the intermediate and the catalyst in a reaction mechanism. It's important to understand that the intermediate and the catalyst do not show up in the overall reaction mechanism. The catalyst is present at the beginning and shows up at the end. It appears first on the left side and then reappears on the right side. The intermediate appears on the right side and then shows up on the left side later. The intermediate is produced first and then consumed later. This tutorial contains 2 example problems for you to learn this concept.

I cannot express enough gratitude to you, and your efforts. If you ever see this. Know that you are literally changing lives.

[cassmvx]

You’re literally saving me in chem 2 rn now🙏🏻 THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[meryemlahbara]

There is video for everything ... I’m so thankful 💕❤️

[Peep]

You are saving me during quarantine. Thanks a ton man!

[georgesadler]

Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for an outstanding explanation into How to Identify the Intermediate and Catalyst in a Reaction Mechanism in AP/General Chemistry. The basic practice problems, examples and definitions increase my understanding of Catalyst and Intermediate from start to finish. This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube Tv with the Organic Chemistry Tutor.

This videos help so much! My second semester General Chem course is a flipped classroom (so the teacher doesn’t lecture at all) and these videos show great examples that the textbook doesn’t have.

[Harveyspecter]

My gen chem teacher is great, but she had a hard time explaining this. You literally made it as easy as ABC. Thank you for everything.

[hanadeulset]

REAL Thank you sir. You're helping me a lot.

[spidermanfansclubmarvel]

Thank you so much man

Thankyou so much, big hollap from tanzania

[hiveknight]

pretty good explanation, keep being awesome

[yandenambaya]

The ad of Arlissa was a great start for the tutorial video

[burningfinger]

The Organic Chemistry Tutor Glad I found this video, but I have a question, is the overall reaction and the stoichiometric reaction the same or are they different

[muhammad]

A humble request to please make a video of the Electronic Effects ie. Inductive, Hyperconjugation and Mesomeric effects 🙏🙏🙏

[Shengli-rejk]

This is a great video.
It was so helpful.

[ClarissaRose]

Yayyyy that was so helpful thank you so

[ryansoh]

that was easier than i thought... many thanks!
