A researcher is designing a laboratory experiment to determine whether the inorganic substance A affects the rate of a reaction

between two colored liquids, X and Y. When the reaction is complete, the liquid is clear. The reaction between X and Y is similar to one used by manufacturers to produce certain chemicals in factories. Which method would best answer his question about reaction rate and what will he find out about substance A?
First, he should measure the final temperature of the liquid when X and Y react without substance A. Then, he should measure the final temperature when he adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is a catalyst.

First, he should measure how long it takes for the liquid to become clear if X and Y are mixed together. Then, he should measure how long it takes if he also adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is a catalyst.

First, he should measure the final temperature of the liquid when X and Y react without substance A. Then, he should measure the final temperature when he adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is an enzyme.

First, he should measure how long it takes for the liquid to become clear if X and Y are mixed together. Then, he should measure how long it takes if he also adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is an enzyme.

The corrrect option is D.
Since the scientist was trying to determine if substance A affect the rate of reaction of X and Y, the best thing to do is to make substance X and Y to react together first, he should then measure the time taken for the reaction to take place. Next, he should make X and Y to react together again, but this time in the presence of A. The time taken for the reaction to occur should be measures. The scientist can now compared the two time measurements and decide if there are difference between them or not.
