Answer:
B. as a food preservative in the manufacture of detergents
.........
A: Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
The rate of reaction is the speed with which reactants are converted into products. It is also the rate at which reactants disappear and products appear. The higher the rate of reaction, the greater the amount of product formed in a reaction.
If we look at the graph, we will realize that trial 1 produces a lesser amount of product than trial 2. This implies that the average rate of the reaction in trial 1 is lower than in trial 2.
Lower average rate of reaction implies lower concentration of the reactants since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants.
Hence trial 1 has a lower concentration of reactants because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
thermal contact
When heat flows from one object or substance to another it is in contact with, the objects or substances are said to be in thermal contact. The state where objects in thermal contact with each other reach the same temperature, no heat flows between them.
