Could chemical digestion take place if mechanical digestion did not occur?

Mechanical digestion, i.e. your body breaking up the food into smaller pieces, is largely meant to speed chemical digestion up. We know that the rate at which the chemical reaction takes place is dependent on four things: the physical state of the reactants involved in the reaction, the temperature at which the reaction takes place, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst. Each influences the rate of reaction in different ways. Mechanical digestion breaks the food into smaller pieces, i.e. changes the physical state. With the larger pieces broken into smaller ones, more surface area is exposed. With greater surface area exposure, chemical digestion can take place much more rapidly. However, if for some reason you could get just huge chunks of food down your throat without chewing it, your stomach still churns (mechanical digestion) and the contractions in your intestines also help to break up food. So technically yes, chemical digestion would take place, but at a much slower and inefficient manner.
