The proteins that comprise the amylase would begin to denature. In other words, the chemical and ionic bonds that hold the protein together would begin to break apart, and it would start to unravel. In general, reaction rate increases with temperature; the usual rule of thumb for temperatures near room temperature is that the rate doubles for every 10 degrees C (use the Arrhenius rate equation if you want exact figures).

Do catalysts affect temperature?

A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.


Which part of a chemical reaction is most changed by enzyme activity?

The speed of the reaction is most changed by enzyme activity, as enzymes can greatly accelerate the rate at which chemical reactions occur by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed.


Does temperature rising in a chemical mixer have to do anything with a chemical reaction?

Yes, a rise in temperature in a chemical mixer can influence the rate and extent of a chemical reaction. Increased temperature generally increases the kinetic energy of molecules, which can lead to more frequent collisions and higher chances of successful collisions between reactant molecules, thus speeding up the reaction. However, the specific effect of temperature on a reaction depends on the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics of the system.


How does temperature affect enymatic activity?

Heat will increase the rate of any chemical reaction. This is because a chemical reaction require three things: The molecules to collide, collide with enough energy, and collide in the correct orientation. With increased heat you increase the number of collision and the energy with which molecules collide. For non-organic enzymatic reactions(ex platinum catalyzes several hydrogen reaction) heat will speed up the reaction. For organic reactions heat will only increase the rate up to a point. If the temperature gets too hot it begins to denature the enzyme and the enzyme will no longer work.


What is it called when a chemical reaction occurs and the temperature of the surroundings goes down?

This is an endothermic reaction.

What is the chemical activity of substance?

Chemical activity refers to the ability of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction when in contact with other substances. It is determined by factors such as the reactivity of the substance's molecules and the conditions in which the reaction occurs (e.g. temperature, pressure, presence of catalysts).


Does the change of temperature will slow or faster the chemical reaction?

No, an increase in temperature will speed up the reaction. This is because the heat energy is transferred into kinetic energy (movement energy) in the reactors and this increases their speed and so increases the rate at which they collide with each other, increasing the rate of the chemical reaction.


How are temperature and the Arrhenius theory related?

The reaction rate of a chemical reaction is dependent on temperature.


Do catalysts affect temperature?

A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.


What is the lowest temperature flame that can be produced by a chemical reaction?

The lowest temperature flame that can be produced by a chemical reaction is around 600 degrees Celsius.


What is a chemical reaction is endothermic?

An endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs energy. Such reactions usually produce a temperature drop.


Why does a change in temperature indicate that a chemical reaction may occur?

Because a chemical reaction has different sign's. And heat is one. But if the temperature is dropping then it is not going through a chemical change.


Which part of a chemical reaction is most changed by enzyme activity?

The speed of the reaction is most changed by enzyme activity, as enzymes can greatly accelerate the rate at which chemical reactions occur by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed.


When is q equal to delta h in a chemical reaction?

Q is equal to delta H in a chemical reaction when the reaction is at constant pressure and temperature.


Does temperature effect the rate of chemical reaction?

yes.


How might a thermometer help you decide if there was any chemical change on mixing iron and charcoal?

For a chemical change to occur, there must be a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction would be either endothermic (uses energy, mostly heat), or exothermic (produces energy, again mostly heat). Any change in temperature of the reactants, as measured by a thermometer, will tell you not only ifa chemical reaction occurred, but also which kind of chemical reaction. No temperature change usually indicates that no reaction has occurred, a decrease in temperature would indicate an endothermic reaction, while an increase in temperature would indicate an exothermic reaction.
