Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Describe a scenario where quenching is critical for analyzing a rapidly occurring chemical reaction. Include details about how you would perform the quenching and subsequent analysis.
💡 Hint: Think about how quickly reactions can change and what methods can stop them.
You have a graph of concentration vs. time showing a linear decrease in concentration. What can you conclude about the reaction order? Justify your reasoning.
💡 Hint: Recall how different orders would reflect in the graphed data.
