What is the name of substance that slows reaction?
The substance that slows down a chemical reaction is an inhibitor. Instead you could also call an inhibitor an anticatalyst.-anticatalyst `antee'katlist1. (chemistry) a substance that retards a chemical reaction or diminishes the activity of a catalyst
In nuclear reactor heavy water is used as?
Heavy water (deuterium) functions as a moderator. It slows down fast neutrons released by fission reactions in order to allow the reaction to be sustained. Fast neutrons pass through the reactor before initiating another fission reaction.
Is it true that lowering the temperature slows down most chemical reactions?
most chemical reactions dealing with enzymes preform best in a certain small temperature range, so increased or decreased temperatures could result in the slowing down of reactions
How does refrigeration affect mold?
Refrigeration actually slows down the process of molding, because mold usually grows in damp muggy areas, some temperatures actually slows down some important chemical reactions.
What is the substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction called?
A substance by itself will not slow down a chemical reaction; factors require change, such as cooling the reactants or lowering the concentration, to do so. Adding another chemical or substance that happens to slow a reaction often does so by actually interfering with the reaction and replacing or preventing it outright, and there is not a name for chemicals that do this -?inhibitor?-, since a chemical may do this to one reaction, but be a catalyst to another.Added:decrease surface area/ remove catalyst/ decrease temperature/ decrease concentration/ add inhibitor/ dilute reactants/ separate reactants/
What happens to your brain when you drink alcohol?
It slows the bodys functions
What type of substance slows down chemical reaction?
Chemical reactions can be either sped up or slowed down by catalysts.

What slows down reactions?
your ugly face
How does alcohol work in you body?
It slows the functions of the body.
What slows down chemical reactions?
It is called an inhibitor. surface area
What substance slows down the body process?
There is no one single, "body process", rather, the body has thousands of processes that go on simultaniously, which means that there is no single substance that slows down the entire body.
What effects does alcohol have in the nervous system?
Alcohol temporarily slows the reactions of the nervous system.
What slows the flow of electrons?
Resistance slows the flow of electrons in a conductor.When you say that a substance has resistance, it actually means that the substance slows down the flow of electrons, thereby reducing the current. So, higher the resistivity of a substance, lesser the velocity of the electrons in the circuit assuming all the other values constant.
What is a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction?
an inhibitor
What is a substance that prevents the clotting of blood called?
A substance that prevents or slows the clotting of blood is called an anticoagulant.
How does alcohol affect your sport?
Alcohol is a depressant, which means that it slows bodily functioning and reactions time.
