Concept Introduction: A
Answer to Problem 5LC
Due to an increase in the temperature, the food stored at room temperature gets spoiled.
Explanation of Solution
An increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing the energy for the breaking of the bonds. On the other hand, the temperature in the refrigerator is less as compared to the room temperature; thus, the rate is also lower. That is why the food which is stored at room temperature spoils quickly and the food which is stored in the refrigerator stays fresh for a long period.
