Heat it;

By heating the acid it causes the molecules to vibrate faster. This means they will collide with more of the other reactants and there will be more successful collisions. When the particles collide bonds between the particles are broken and formed between the other reactants. If there are more successful collisions per minute this will mean that that the reactants will create the product faster. The rate of reaction approximately doubles for every 10 degrees rise in temperature.

When zinc is reacting with hydrochloric acid what make the reaction start slowly and speed up in a few minute?

The acid first has to dissolve away the zinc oxide layer that coats the zinc as more metal gets exposed the acid can react with the exposed metal. Also as the reaction progresses the solution heats up which also speeds the reaction.

If limestone was crushed what would it do to the rate of reaction between an acid and the limestone?

If the limestone was crushed the reaction would speed up because the limestone would have a larger surface area available to react with the acid.

Enzymes are the molecules that speed up chemical reactions, and these are forms of catalysts.


What is 1-octanol and acetic acid reaction?

This is an ESTERification reaction. CH3(CH2)6CH2OH + CH3COOH < ==H^+==> CH3COOCH2(CH2)6CH3 + H2O The products are Octyl ethanoate(acetate) and water. A little Sulphuric Acid (H^+) is used to speed up the relux reaction.
