The reaction between sucrose and water to produce fructose and glucose is first order // overall. the data below shows the change in concentration of sucrose over time at 298 k. c12h22011 (aq)sucrose + h2o(l)艹c6h1206(aq)fructose + c6h1206(aq)oucose c12h2201l m time (minutes) 1.002 0.808 0.630 0.0 60.0 130.0 a. find the average rate ofdisappearance of c12h22011 from t = 0 min to t-60 min. b. find the average rate of appearance of fructose from t 0 min to t 60 min. c. calculate the rate constant, k, for the decomposition of sucrose at 25°c. include units. d. how long will it take for the concentration of sucrose to drop from 1.002 to 0.212 m? e. what is the half-life for the decomposition of sucrose at 25°c?

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.
