Rates of reaction are typically measured as the change of concentration per unit time. Some typical units of concentration are: M, mM, pM, uM, nM. Some typical units of time are: years, days, hr, s, ms, ps, us, and ns For each reaction, suggest a reasonable unit of measure for the rate of reaction. The combustion of gasoline. a. b. The transformation of organic material into crude oil. Chemical change involved with memory in the human brain. с. d. The rusting of an iron nail. Why would a scientist use nM/ps instead of M/s?

Based on the result from the room temperature experiment (20°C), estimate the time it would take a piece of zinc to completely react in hydrochloric acid at a temperature of 30°C. Remember, as a general rule the rate will double for every 10°C increase in temperature. **Note: the result from the experiment was that it took Zinc 2 minutes and 27 seconds to completely react in hydrochloric acid at room temperature (20°C) a) about 1:20 b) about 0:40 c) about 5:20 d) about 13:30
