1. Introduction: This investigation will show the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction. The Berocca tablet was reacted with hot water (47oC) and then with cold water (20oC). In the hypothesis‚ it was predicted that the temperature will be inverse proportional to the time Berocca tablet reacts with water to produce 50ml of carbon dioxide gas. Through the result table‚ we can see that the hypothesis is supported and it was correct. In the conclusion‚ it was shown that the temperature has the

Assignment 1 UNIT 1 Question 1 (5 marks): Discuss the rate-limiting factor. Why is it important to consider when studying exercise physiology and training? Provide one example to clarify your understanding. The rate-limiting factor is the “step” that limits performances (the “slow step”). If we know the rate-limiting step in a certain physiological pathway or training situation‚ we can manipulate the factors of this step to change and increase the rate of the pathway. This will improve overall training
