    The chemical reaction in Beaker 3 will be the fastest, while in Beaker 1 it will be the slowest.

    Explanation:

    Chemical reactions take place quicker at higher temperatures because the molecules have higher kinetic energy to make effective collisions between one another. Glow sticks work by converting chemical energy to light energy, the phenyl oxalate ester is a liquid contained in it that is mixed with fluorescent dye. Snapping the glow stick releases the hydrogen peroxide from the glass vial which starts this chemical reaction.

    Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
