Question 4 • CHS Chemistry A

Among these processes, which is the slowest chemical reaction?

Answer
A
digesting food
B
boiling an egg
C
tarnishing of silver
D
melting of a glacier

Explanation

Tarnishing of silver is a chemical reaction in which silver reacts with substances in the air, and it typically takes a long time to occur. Digesting food and boiling an egg involve chemical changes that happen much faster. Melting a glacier is slow, but it is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. The slowest chemical reaction listed is tarnishing of silver.
