What happens to the reaction as a reactant gets used up?
It slows and then stops.
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.
Scientific definition of addiction?
Addiction occurs when a chemical substance that is not natural to the human body attaches itself to a molecule in place of a naturally occurring substance in the human body and in turn slows down or stops production of the proper chemical. When the unnatural chemical is withdrawn the body takes time to produce the natural substance which causes symptoms of withdrawal in the addicted person.
Rusting of iron is an example of?
Oxidation.Rust is an example of an oxidation reaction between iron and oxygen. This is why a coat of oil on iron-containing metal prevents rust--the oil stops oxygen from reaching the metal's surface so that the oxidation reaction cannot take place.
Why does the reaction stop so the balloon stops expanding after baking soda and vinegar are mixed?
The chemical reaction between the baking soda and vinegar has stopped, so there's nothing more that causes the balloon to expand.
What is the substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction called?
A substance by itself will not slow down a chemical reaction; factors require change, such as cooling the reactants or lowering the concentration, to do so. Adding another chemical or substance that happens to slow a reaction often does so by actually interfering with the reaction and replacing or preventing it outright, and there is not a name for chemicals that do this -?inhibitor?-, since a chemical may do this to one reaction, but be a catalyst to another.Added:decrease surface area/ remove catalyst/ decrease temperature/ decrease concentration/ add inhibitor/ dilute reactants/ separate reactants/

Does vinegar and baking soda create a big chemical reaction?
it makes a chemical reaction but not a big one. it just bubbles up and then stops.
How do you know when a chemical reaction has ended?
1)stops changing color 2)stops prducing heat 3)stops bubbling
Why does a battery go dead?
coz the chemical reaction within the battery eventually stops
What is a force that slows or stops motion when objects rub together?
Friction slows or stops motion when objects rub together.
How might altering the pH affect the rate of the reaction?
Altering the pH might cause the enzymes involved in a reaction to be denatured. When enzymes are denatured, they do not function properly and the rate of the reaction either slows down or completely stops.
What force slows and stops?
friction
What is is the special force which stops things moving or which slows down moving things?
friction stops things from moving and slows it down
What is an anti-coagulant?
An anticoagulant is a substance that prevents coagulation; that is, it stops blood from clotting
