What distinguishes inorganic reactions from organic reactions based on the laboratory observation?

Inorganic reactions require several hours to complete, while organic reactions occur almost instantly with appropriate catalysts.

Inorganic reactions occur almost instantly, while organic reactions require several hours even with catalysts. (correct)

Inorganic reactions are more soluble in water, while organic reactions require petroleum ether for solubility.

Inorganic reactions produce more smoke, while organic reactions tend to be less flammable.
