kinetics question
« on: November 21, 2009, 01:24:25 PM »
This question was taken from a selection test.
If you considered the process of popping popcorn kernel a chemical reaction, what would be the order of reaction?

I like the question. What do you know about reaction orders?

You could say that the order of reaction is related to how the speed of reaction is affected by the concentration of the reagents.

It's a really good question.  The rate is proportional to the number of kernals above a threshold temeprature.
