Situation/Scenario Factor Affecting Reaction Rate 1. Protein is broken down in the stomach by the enzyme pepsin. 2. More bubbles appear when a concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid is added to a magnesium strip than when a dilute solution of the acid is added. 3. Raw potatoes are cut into thin slices for cooking. 4. Blowing air on a campfire to help get it going. 5. Grains of sugar dissolves quickly in water. 6. Smaller pieces of charcoal are used to grill food. 7. Meat is stored in a refrigerator to last longer. 8. Acid rain erodes marble faster. 9. Protease is used to tenderize meat. 10. Leaving a glass of milk on the table causes it to spoil easily.
