A researcher is designing laboratory experiment to determine whether the inorganic substance A affects the rate of
reaction between two colored liquids, X and Y. When the reaction is complete, the liquid is clear. The reaction between
X and Y is similar to one used by manufacturers to produce certain chemicals in factories.
Which method would best answer his question about reaction rate and what will he find out about substance A?
O First, he should measure the final
temperature of the liquid when X and Y react without substance A. Then, he
should measure the final temperature when he adds substance A to X and Y. He X will find out if substance A is a
catalyst.
• First, he should measure how long takes for the liquid to become clear if X and Y are mixed together. Then, he
should measure how long
