Inhibitors decrease the rate of a reaction. However the use of inhibitors can be useful in decreasing the rates of unwanted side reactions. For instance if Chemical A could turn into chemical B or chemical C, but chemical C was useless, an inhibitor could be used to reduce the amount of C formed and maximise the amount of B produced from A. This is especially important in industrial processes, where undesired products waste reactant and thus money.

∙ 7y agosometimes a reaction is more useful when it can be slowed down rather than speeded up.
Inhibitors can either prevent a reaction from occurring or make a reaction more likely to occur. Depending on what is reacting, in Biology chemical reactions can be inhibited by changing the shape of an enzyme or blocking the active site to an enzyme.

How ground coffee can stop bleeding what are the chemical reaction?
the chemical reaction is currently known as 'itchysorefanny'
Can the presence of inhibitors or activitors affect enzyme activity?
yes, enzymes can be inhibited by other enzymes.
Can you stop a chemical reaction from happening?
no... chemical reactions happen in nature however you can stop the two objects from combining
Competitive inhibitors and how they work?
Inhibitors are substances that alter the activity of enzymes by combining with them in a way that influence the binding of substrate and/or its turnover number. Many inhibitors are substances that structurally resemble their enzyme's substrate but either do not react or react very slowly compared to substrate.There are two kinds of inhibitors: a) competitive inhibitors (those compete directly with a normal substrate for an enzyme-binding site), and b) uncompetitive inhibitors (these bind directly to the enzyme-substrate complex but not to the free enzyme).
Why did the fizzing stop when he countied to add the acid?
The fizzing stop when the chemical reaction is totally finished.
How do you stop a or slow a chemical reaction?
by using an inhibitor or poisoning the chemical reaction

What does a competitive inhibitor bind to?
A competitive inhibitor is a molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme, to prevent substrates entering the active site and therefore lowering the rate of reaction. Some drugs act as competitive inhibitors to control reactions in the body, and the body also releases competitive inhibitors as a means of self control. But remember that the amount of product formed is still remain the same, only the time taken increased.
Can the presence of inhibitors or activitors affect enzyme activity?
yes, enzymes can be inhibited by other enzymes.
When the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is completely used the?
reaction will stop.

Why would a chemical reaction stop?
Reactions stop because after time there are less reactants so the chemical reaction starts to slow down. As there are less and less reactants the chemical reaction gets slower and slower until it stops.
What causes the chemical reaction to stop between baking soda and vinegar?
milk
Is squeezing lemon juice on fruit to stop it going brown a chemical reaction?
yes.
