Temperature can change the speed of some reactions.
A catalyst is used to SPEED up a reaction but doesn't change itself.
Perhaps you are referring to a first order reaction.
You can add a catalyst, or raise the temperature, or change the pressure, these are some of the things done to speed up a chemical reaction.
Catalysts accelerate chemical reaction. Enzymes are examples of catalysts that speed up reactions in the body.
The speed at which a reactant will change to a product is proportional to its concentration. This relationship is described by the rate law of the reaction. Changes in other factors, such as temperature and the presence of catalysts, can also affect the reaction rate.
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.
The effect of concentration of reactants on rate of reaction depends on the ORDER of the reaction. For many reactions, as the concentration of reactants increases, the rate of reaction increases. There are exceptions however, for example a zero order reaction where the rate of reaction does not change with a change in the concentration of a reactant.
A steeper line or greater slope on a graph of reaction distance versus speed indicates that for small changes in speed, there is a larger change in reaction distance. This implies that as speed increases, the required reaction distance also increases more rapidly. In other words, a steeper slope signifies a more significant impact of speed on reaction distance.
A catalyst alters (usually increases) the speed of a chemical reaction in which there is no net change in the amount of catalyst present after reaction is complete.
You can change the temperature of a reaction by heating or cooling the reaction vessel using a heat source or a cooling system. Increasing the temperature can speed up the reaction by providing more energy for the molecules to react, while decreasing the temperature can slow down the reaction by reducing the energy available for the reaction to occur.
A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction without undergoing any change in mass but may change in color , texture e.t.c <a href="http://linkjacket.com/jk.cgi?i=rMkA9ue&d=www.kentchemistry.com&n=NaN" target="_self">visit kentchemistry.com</a> it can also speed up a reaction. simply a catalyst can change the rate of a reaction, both slow and increase rate
Enzymes do not affect the equilibrium constant of a reaction. They only speed up the rate at which the reaction reaches equilibrium, but do not change the position of the equilibrium itself.
