| Countless industrial processes use acids and bases as reactants or catalysts to make a variety of consumer goods. |
| In these types of reactions the reactants form intermediates which have electrons in an excited state. |
| If some of the components of this system chemically react with each other then the inert substance dispersing the reactants is the inert solvent. |
| A number of acute-phase reactants protect against tissue injury in response to heat stress. |
| Heterogeneous catalysts are materials that increase the rate of a reaction, but are not in the same phase as the reactants. |
| The rate of chemical reactions often depends on the concentration of the reactants involved. |
