Reaction network complexity limits the understanding and modelling of experimental behaviour in combustion, metabolic engineering and catalysis, among other fields. The sheer number of possible ...
The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how fast the reactants are being used up and how fast the products are being made. Reactions in which a gas is produced can be used to monitor the rate.
We can use a gas syringe to measure the reaction of metals with dilute acid. When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. We can measure the rate of the reaction ...
