When lumps of ice are added to the acid the rate of the reaction slowed down give two reasons why this would happen?
The reaction is slower because lumps were used instead of smaller pieces thus the surface area is small and so the acid has less space to act on and the ice decreases the temperature, the higher the temperature the faster the reactions
Why does frozen liver react with hydrogen peroxide more than raw liver?
the frozen liver reaction should have been slower than the liver at room temperature, as this is the optimal condition for the enzyme catalase. The reaction would occur at a slower rate when an enzyme is below its optimal condition so generally when an enzyme is in cold conditions it will function slower.
Why would a chemical reaction stop?
Reactions stop because after time there are less reactants so the chemical reaction starts to slow down. As there are less and less reactants the chemical reaction gets slower and slower until it stops.
What are four ways of slowing down a chemical reaction?
I'm not sure exactly. Essentially, a chemical reaction is the result of collisions between molecules. If the collision is strong enough, it can break the chemical bonds in the reactants, resulting in a rearrangement of the atoms to form products. The more MOLECULES included, will speed up the reaction, so, the less used, means it should go slower. That's one. Another is heat. Heat is a way of causing a collision to speed, so, again, going opposite, if you COOL the chemicals, they should react slower. The third would be to "Block" the chemicals from eachother. This, is linked to the first one. They will have to "find a way" through the object, in order to react, this will be a slow process, meaning less Molecules are colliding, slowing the reaction. ~HellsBaran Any questions please EMail me at: Vistekis@yahoo.com.

Why would a large lump of copper oxide react slower with sulfuric than if copper oxide is used in powdered form?
Powder reacts quicker because it has more surface area, so there are more particles reacting.
When a catalyst is added to a reaction?
There are positive catalysts used when the reaction rate is needed to be faster or the negative catalysts to make the reaction rate slower.
Is it warmer underground or on the surface?
well because of the sufuce of the earth and it is closer to cold air i would say on the surface
What would happen if this baseball was dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the Moon?
It will still drop to the surface, just a bit slower.
Can you live without villi?
Digestion would be much slower because of the decrease in surface area.
Would a higher enzymes concentration make the reaction faster or slower?
Increased enzymes would increase the rate of the reaction up to a certain point. They would reach a point where there are no more reactions to help out.
What happens to your reaction time when you get older?
When you get older, your reaction time becomes naturally slower this is because your body is not at it's fittest peak compared to what it would of been in your youth.
Why and how would you extend the curing process of the concrete?
Placing plastic sheeting (known as visquene in construction trades) over drying concrete extends the curing process of concrete. The idea is to slow the evaporation of moisture from the drying concrete. The slower concrete curing process, the stronger the concrete becomes. On construction jobs I have been party to, the curing concrete is usually covered for two or three days.If the curing concrete's surface were to get dry, there may not be enough water for the chemical reaction which forms concrete, and so the surface would not be as strong. Wetting isn't about "extending" but rather allowing the curing to make a hard surface. The full curing takes as long as a month to reach full strength, but most of the reaction happens in three days.If you actually want it slower, then cooling would work, as with any chemical reaction. Also disrupting the water-cement reaction would work, which would unfortunately make the concrete weaker. For example, adding sugar or anything that ties up the water would slow the reaction but harm the strength of the result.
What would happen to the cellular respiration process of the enzyme for one step of the process was missing or defective?
It would cause the reaction to occur at a much slower rate, because all enzymes do is speed up the reaction.
Why does sound travell faster under water than under ground?
Actually, sound travels slower under water than underground. Sound is a vibration in molecules that we perceive as noise. Water's molecules are rather loose compared to a solid's molecules, so it would travel slower underwater compared to traveling underground.
The method of extracting minerals that involves digging beneath the surface is referred to as What mining?
This would be underground mining.
