Why does heating a enzyme make it react quicker?
All chemical reactions run faster when heat is added.
What does enzyme catalsed reaction mean?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up other chemical reactions but is not consumed or permanently altered in that reaction. Basically the catalyst just makes it easier for the other chemicals to react with each other so that the reaction will proceed faster. Enzymes are biological catalysts(catalysts that are created by living organisms). So an enzyme catalyzed reaction is when chemicals are reacting with each other and an enzyme is used to catalyze(speed up) the reaction.
In nonliving systems chemical reactions can be sped up by adding?
The most common way to speed up chemical reactions in non-living systems is to add heat. Heat causes the molecules to move faster, creating more collisions. In some reactions, extra oxygen is used to speed them up.
Why does hot water corrode more quickly then cold water?
Corrosion is a chemical reaction. The vast majority of chemical reactions are speeded up by the input of heat. The energy from the heat causes the particles to move faster and thus react faster.
What 4 things can increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
Concentrations of reactants; concentrations of products; changes in temperature (usually higher temperatures favor faster reactions); catalyst; for some reactions, incident light; and, for reactions with a volume change, changes in pressure.
Chemical reactions in cells are faster than the same reactions outside cells?
Chemical reactions in cells are faster than the same reactions outside cells.
Are Chemical reactions in cells faster than the same reactions outside cells?
True chemical reactions in cells are faster than the same reactions outside cells. The substance upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
Why is chemical weathering faster in the tropics?
Because chemical reactions happen quicker in an increases temperature. So the more chemical reactions, the more chemical weathering
Enzymes allow chemical reactions to occur .?
faster
Why does chemical weathering occur faster in a hot climate?
chemical weathering occurs faster in a hot climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
Why do membrane Bound organelles facilitate faster chemical reactions?
membrane-bounded organelles act as catalysts for biochemical reactions.
How does increasing the temperature effect a chemical reaction?
Raising the temperature makes chemical reactions faster.
What makes chemical reactions go faster?
increasing concentrationincreasing temperaturesometimes increasing pressureadding a catalyst
Why does heating a enzyme make it react quicker?
All chemical reactions run faster when heat is added.
Why do copper pipes carry hot water corrode faster than pipes that carry cold water?
Heat speeds up chemical reactions. As corrosion is a chemical reaction, copper pipes at a higher temperature will corrode faster
A higher concentration of molecules causes a faster chemical reaction This is known as?
This is known as chemical equilibrium. All of the chemicals will want to become stable and this can only happen with equilibrium.
