Does adding water slow down a chemical reaction?
Adding water can often slow down a chemical reaction by diluting it. This is the case of a quantitative reaction such as an enzymatic reaction.
What is the name of substance that slows reaction?
The substance that slows down a chemical reaction is an inhibitor. Instead you could also call an inhibitor an anticatalyst.-anticatalyst `antee'katlist1. (chemistry) a substance that retards a chemical reaction or diminishes the activity of a catalyst
What can you do if you want to either make a chemical reaction happen faster or slower?
to slow down a chemical reaction you use the substance called an inhibitor. to speed up a chemical reaction you use the substance called a catalyst.
What role do catalysts play in chemical reactions?
A catalyst is a chemical species that alters the rate of a chemical reaction without undergoing any type of change. Such catalysts that slow down a reaction are called negative catalysts or poison.
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/

This class of compounds/elements are called inhibitors.

What can you do if you want to either make a chemical reaction happen faster or slower?
to slow down a chemical reaction you use the substance called an inhibitor. to speed up a chemical reaction you use the substance called a catalyst.
Will a smaller surface speed up a chemical reaction?
No. A smaller surface area will slow down a chemical reaction.

What things will slow down or speed up a chemical reaction such as between vinegar and baking powder?
Heat would speed up the reaction, while cold would slow the reaction.
How do you make a chemical reaction last longer?
you can speed up a chemical reaction by adding a catalyst to it,a catalyst just speeds up the reaction and does not react with the substances.just thought you should know
Why does a reaction slow down the time?
Usually:decreasing concentrationlowering the temperaturesometimes lowering pressureremoving any catalyst
What is a substance that lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction but is not changed or used up in the reaction?
This is called a catalyst. In biology, it is referred to as an enzyme (biological catalyst). Catalysts can also be used to speed up or slow down chemical reactions.
Why does adding more water slow down the rate of a chemical reaction?
The concentration of reactants is lowered.
