Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculating the effect of a catalyst: A reaction without a catalyst takes 20 minutes. With a catalyst, it was seen to take only 5 minutes. How much faster did the reaction occur?
💡 Hint: Think about how many times faster the reaction was in comparison.
Analyzing a reaction: If you double the concentration of a reactant in a second-order reaction, how does it affect the rate?
💡 Hint: Consider the power to which concentration is raised in the rate equation.
