Every sheet in January 1974

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st January 1974Why is the amount of product directly proportional to the amount of limiting reactant?
  2. 2nd January 1974Give one everyday example of an endothermic process.
