inhibitor
Inhibitor~a material used to decrease the rate of reaction
retardant
A catalyst is a material that speeds up a chemical reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Alternatively, an inhibitor is a material that slows down a chemical reaction by blocking the active sites on the reactant molecules, preventing them from coming together or reacting.
A material that increases the rate of a reaction is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur, thereby increasing the reaction rate without being consumed in the reaction itself.
Water for one. If a reaction is diluted, the components of the reaction are less likely to contact one another. This will mean that they will be also less likely to continue a reaction.
Its a inhibitor.Science worksheet? I just finished it! Lol
decompision
An "inhibitor" (aka negative catalyst) slows or blocks a chemical reaction. In some cases this can also be called a deterrent or a retardant. The term anticatalyst(anti-catalyst) refers to blocking the action of a catalyst.

No, increasing the surface area of a reactant will not decrease the rate of a chemical reaction; in fact, it typically increases the reaction rate. A larger surface area allows for more collisions between reactant particles, facilitating more frequent interactions that can lead to a reaction. This is why powdered solids often react faster than larger chunks of the same material.
The concentration of the reactants decreases.
