1. Lets say you repeat the candle melting experiment with a different candle that is twice as wide as the one you used in this lab but has the same-sized wick. Assuming the process is still zero-order, WOULD YOU EXPECT the rate of the candle melting (in cm/min) to be FASTER, SLOWER, or THE SAME? EXPLAIN your answer.

2. Chemical reactions are most often zero-order in the presence of catalyst. For the reaction mechanism shown below, WRITE the overall balanced stoichiometric reaction and IDENTIFY the INTERMEDIATES and CATALYST. (Hint: INTERMEDIATES are formed then consumed; CATALYSTS are consumed and then reformed.)
