Heating a substance makes its particles move more rapidly and collide more frequently. When they collide, bonds between the particles are broken and new ones are more easily formed with the particles of other substances. Heating substances, therefore, usually causes the rate of a chemical reaction to increase.

In nonliving systems chemical reactions can be sped up by adding?

The most common way to speed up chemical reactions in non-living systems is to add heat. Heat causes the molecules to move faster, creating more collisions. In some reactions, extra oxygen is used to speed them up.


Do all chemical reactions need heat to start them off?

No, not all chemical reactions require heat to start. Some reactions can occur at room temperature or even at low temperatures. Heat is often used to speed up reactions or provide enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier.
