Question

The oxidation of sucrose (sugar) into CO2 + H2O can occur quickly or slowly. Which of these modifications to the reaction is likely to cause the reaction to speed up the most?

Answer 1

B) grinding the sugar into a fine powder

Step-by-step explanation:

Grinding the sugar into a fine powder will increase the reaction rate. Dissolving the sugar would speed up the rate if the oxygen were in solution. Pressurizing would speed it up if both products were gases. Cooling the sugar would slow down the reaction rate.

Answer 2
