Liquid an solids Rates of Reactions , Colligative properties, We generally like to watch reactions that go fast.  Do some reactions proceed faster that others and how can we control the rate at which a reaction proceeds? Finally, we discover how the rate of a reaction helps us to understand something about the reaction itself.
