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.
pH and temperature
pH and temperature
An increase in temperature can increase the enzymatic reactions if it is not too hot and also if the pH is within the idea range it can speed up the reaction. The pH level is usually around 7 for most enzymes.
We need to see what reaction that you are referring is.

Yes it does. Enzymes increase rate of reaction as the pH level increases but enzymes work best at optimum pH. If pH level still increase, then enzyme will become denatured and rate of reaction once again decreases.
The optimum pH is that at which the reaction takes place quickest. A change in pH above or below this optimum denatures the enzyme (ultimately breaking hydrogen bonds that maintain the tertiary structure). This means that the rate is reduced as you change the pH, but not stopped totally as only some of the enzyme molecules are denatured.

* Presence of enzyme * Change in pH * Change in temperature * Change in salt concentration.

It is irrelevant what the independent variable is, whenever you work out rate of reaction you also divide 1 by the time in seconds. For example if it took 100 seconds your rate would be 0.01s-1.

Temperature, pH, Substrate concentration, Enzyme concentration, Inhibitor concentration (ex. ammonia)
pH, temperature, substrate concentration and enzyme concentration influences the rate of reaction
An enzyme catalyst will lower the amount of energy required to preform a reaction. This in turn, will make it much easier for the reaction to start. So yes, it will let a reaction reach equilibrium quicker. Other factors affecting the time of reaction are: The concentration of the reactants, (the less volume and more pressure you have will increase the rate of reaction) The PH level (especially important for biology reactions, protein enzymes are built for specific PH levels and will not work correctly if they are in another PH level, buffers can be used to stabilize pH levels)
