a.
To determine:
The effect on the rate of a
Introduction:
The rate of a chemical reaction is the amount of reactant consumed in the given reaction in a given period of time or it can be defined as the amount of product formed in a given reaction in a given period of time.
b.
To determine:
The effect on the rate of a chemical reaction brought about by decreasing the amount of one of the reactant.
Introduction:
The rate of a chemical reaction is the amount of reactant consumed in the given reaction in a given period of time or it can be defined as the amount of product formed in a given reaction in a given period of time.
c.
To determine:
The effect on the rate of a chemical reaction brought about by caramelizing onions on a medium-high stove setting versus a low setting.
Introduction:
The rate of a chemical reaction is the amount of reactant consumed in the given reaction in a given period of time or it can be defined as the amount of product formed in a given reaction in a given period of time.
