- Based on the diagram in Exercise 12.83, which of the reactions has the fastest rate? Which has the slowest rate?arrow_forwardIf a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?arrow_forwardConsider the hypothetical reaction A+B+2C2D+3E In a study of this reaction three experiments were run at the same temperature. The rate is defined as [B]/t.
