∙ 15y agoI assume you need this for an assignment to I'll just give it to you straight:
- Increasing temperature; not always true but for your purposes it's probably generally true enough
- Adding a catalyst or enzyme; definitely true
- Increasing reacting surface area; pulverizing a solid or shaking two liquids together achieves this
- Adding more reactant; not always the case but once again, don't worry about specifics

∙ 6y agoIncreasing the heat (temperature) doesn't always increase the rate of reaction. If the reaction is exothermic, it will actually decrease the rate of the forward reaction and increase the rate of the reverse reaction. A catalyst will increase the rate. Using smaller particles (increased surface area) will increase the rate. And increasing concentration of reactants will increase rate, but ONLY if the reaction isn't zero order with respect to those reactants. Otherwise, increasing concentration will have NO effect on the rate.

Why is manganese dioxide a good catalyst?
Well, it depends on what you are talking about, but basically it speed up the chemical reaction, thus producing the final products faster than without the catalyst.
How does pressure speed up a chemical reaction?
Increasing the pressure on a reaction involving reacting gases increases the rate of reaction. Changing the pressure on a reaction which involves solids or liquids has no effect on the rate of reaction.
Why would you want to speed up a chemical reaction?
Simple: to gain time and consequently more money.
How do enzymes speed up biochemical reaction?
Enzymes speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
Why Sulfuric acid added to the esterification reaction?
works as a catalyst to speed up 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.
What can speed up a reaction or lower the activation energy of a reaction and can digest things?
This would be an enzyme.
How would you speed up a reaction without a catalyst?
heat the vessel the reaction is taking place!
Would the rate of reaction increase if you folded magnesium ribbon?
it would speed up the reaction xx hope i ve helpd you
Speeds up a reaction without reacting itself?
That would be a catalyst. Catalysts speed up reactions without being used up in the reaction.
What is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction?
Activation energy is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction.
What things might slow down or speed up and enzyme reaction?
The temperature in addition to the pH sacle of something in particular in the environment would affect the rate of speed of an enzyme and would slow down the reaction if it is too high.
Do enzymes speed up metabolic reaction in organisms?
Yes,enzymes speed up metabolic reaction in organisms.
Why does the rate of a reaction speed up?
Catalyst will reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby the speed of the reaction (or the rate of the reaction) increases.
What can a chemical reaction be speeded up by?
A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction.
What can speed up a chemical reaction by decreasing?
chemical reaction
What is chemical reaction in an enzyme?
to speed up a chemical reaction
