An alka-seltzer antacid tablet reacts vigorously with cold water. But you decide you don't like the flavor of the alka-seltzer in just water, so you decide to dissolve the tablet in 50% water and 50% light corn syrup (high-fructose so sweet tasting). Propose an explanation involving the relationship between the speed of the reaction and the frequency of the collsions occuring in the mixture.
