- a lower concentration of reactants
- a lower temperature
what would most likely result in the greatest decrease in the rate of a chemical reaction
A decrease in temperature.
For a reaction to take place, the reactants must have sufficient energy and have correct orientation when they collide. So, the reason why all collisions don't lead to reaction is that the collisions do not satisfy these conditions.
Energy is only made not taken away. But during a chemical reaction, it depends on what kind of chemicals you put in there.
All chemical reactions must be thought of as collisions between the particles of reactants and products. As the temperature of the reaction increases, the energy of the particles also increases and so there is a greater chance of more collisions occuring, and as a result, in general, an increase in reaction temperature increases the reaction rate
catalyst decreases the activation energy of a chemical reaction, thereby increasing the effective collisions and hence the rate of the chemical reaction
The probability that a chemical reaction to occur increases.
No that is false. Enzymes do NOT increase number of collisions in a chemical reaction.
concentration of product. concentration of poisons.
Catalyst ensures that the activation energy of the molecules is lowered so there is effective collisions,and it does this in two ways;the transition and absorbtion states but inibitors even raises the activation energy and causes in effective collisions.
Just like many other chemical reactions, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction will decrease with temperature because of the decrease in the number of high energy collisions between particles.
A.the rate of collisions between two particles.
Higher temperature is responsible for higher kinetic energy of molecules therefore higher no of effective collisions among the reacting molecules and therefore higher rate of reaction.
Catalysts lower the activation energy required for a chemical reaction. Activation energy refers to the mininum amount of energy that the reactant particles must possess so that effective collisions between them (hence a chemical reaction) can occur.
It will increase or decrease the speed of the chemical reaction.
