Title Description:
Chemical reactions are occurring inside us and around us all the time, but ...Chemical reactions are occurring inside us and around us all the time, but the rate or speed at which they occur varies massively. It can take a tenth of a second for a firework to explode in the sky, take hours for an apple to turn brown or for your body to digest a piece of meat, but take years for a piece of iron to rust completely. In the chemical industry it is crucial for scientists to understand reaction rates when useful chemicals are being produced on a large scale. The company needs reactions to happen quickly to make the process economical, but also at a rate that is safe: explosions are exceptionally fast chemical reactions! This title looks at why reaction rates vary so much and the conditions needed to control reaction rates.
