What is the opposite of an acid?
The chemical opposite is a base (alkaline substance). Bases and acids generally neutralize each other. The literal opposite of an acid would be a neutral substance that had no reaction potential. This would differ for different reactions.
What is the opposite of a reaction releasing energy?
A reaction releasing energy is called an exergonic reaction, so the opposite of the would be a reaction that needs energy to take place, called an endergonic reaction. These are also known as exothermic and endothermic reactions.
What is a substance that helps chemical reactions?
A substance that helps chemical reactions is called a catalyst. It speeds up the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
What are reactions between an acid and a base called?
Such reactions are called neutralization reactions.
What is the meaning of broad substrate specificity?
It is the opposite of narrow substrate specificity. Broad substrate specific reactions are 'less-picky' in their selection of co-chemical-reactants.
According to him all reactions had an equal and opposite reaction?
Isaac Newton
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?
They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.

The chemical opposite is a base (alkaline substance). Bases and acids generally neutralize each other. The literal opposite of an acid would be a neutral substance that had no reaction potential. This would differ for different reactions.
What is the opposite of exothermic?
The opposite of exothermic is endothermic. Exothermic reactions are those which give off energy in the form of heat. Endothermic reactions require energy.
What chemical reactions reales energy?
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction
When a force is exerted on a box an equal and opposite force is exerted by the box these fores are called?
I supose in laymans language the forces would be referred to as equal and opposite reactions. In fact your question answers itself , but it is an intelligent question.
What is chemical and physical reactions?
A physical reaction is were the current substance can be changed in state and then changed back easily to it's previous state, a chemical reaction is the opposite, it is difficult to change it back to its previous state.
What is the opposite of a reaction releasing energy?
A reaction releasing energy is called an exergonic reaction, so the opposite of the would be a reaction that needs energy to take place, called an endergonic reaction. These are also known as exothermic and endothermic reactions.
What is the opposite of combustion?
The opposite compound in the carbon cycle is carbon dioxide. (We breathe in air, remove the oxygen, breathe out carbon dioxide.) The opposites of reactions that use oxygen (aerobic) are those that don't (anaerobic).
How are action and reactions related?
They are equal and opposite (Newton's third law).Each action has an equal an opposite reaction. For example: pulling on a rubber band and letting it go will cause it to fly around. This is the action and related response or reaction desired.
How is photosynthesis and cellular repiration similar?
They are opposite reactions, but both are related in that the end products of one are used in the reactions of the other. Photosynthesis : sunlight + carbon dioxide + water --> oxygen + glucose Cellular respiration : glucose + oxygen --> ATP + Carbon dioxide + water
What is a substance that helps chemical reactions?
A substance that helps chemical reactions is called a catalyst. It speeds up the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
