What is the substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction?

positive catalyst


What will change when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?

When a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction, the rate of the reaction will increase without being consumed in the process. This means that the reaction will reach equilibrium faster and require less activation energy. The overall chemical equilibrium and products formed will remain the same.


What must be done to increase the rate of reaction?

Temperature


What causes an increase in the rate of a chemical reaction between 2 liquids?

Increasing the temperature will increase the reaction rate, as will finding a suitable catalyst.


How can you increase the rate of catalase reaction by using the same liver?

To increase the rate of catalpas reaction by using the same liver is simple. It is the biological catalyst that alters the rate of reaction that changes itself.


A material used to increase the rate of a reaction is a...?

catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.


How can one increase the rate of reaction?

One can increase the rate of a chemical reaction by increasing the temperature, concentration of reactants, surface area of reactants, or using a catalyst.


What increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy?

A catalyst can increase the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to happen more quickly.


What are main functions of catalysts?

Catalyst is the agent which alter the rate of chemical reactions. Catalyst are not consumed by the reaction as the other reactants. Those catalyst which increase or speed up the reaction are known as positive catalyst. Those who slow the reaction are known as negative catalyst.


When a reaction is catalysed by a positive catalyst then product increase or not?

Yes, the product increases because positive catalysts increase the rate of the reaction.


How does the present of a catalyst affect the rate of reactions?

A catalyst is a substance which speeds up the rate of reaction. After the reaction it remain chemically unchanged. It does NOT affect the position of equilibrium. There can also be negative or "poisoned" catalysts as in Rosenmunds reaction.
