q 1 : What effect did you observe temperature to have on reaction rate?
q: 2 Based on the data you recorded in Table 12-1, does the 10°C rule of thumb provide a reasonably close approximation of the
observed reaction rates in this laboratory? How far do your data depart from the expected values based on the rule of thumb?
q: 3 Based on the data you recorded in Table 12-1, does reaction rate appear to be approximately linear over time? If you noticed an
increase or decrease in reaction rate over time, propose at least one possible explanation.
