You decrease the temperature.

Temperature is the measurement of the average speed of the molecules in a substance. The faster the molecules are moving, the higher the temperature. The slower, the lower the temperature.

To slow down a chemical reaction what should you add?

To slow down a chemical reaction, you can add a substance that acts as an inhibitor or a catalyst that competes for the reacting molecules. Also, lowering the temperature or decreasing the concentration of the reactants can help slow down the reaction.


What happens to space between molecules as they cool?

The space between molecules generally decreases as they cool down. This decrease in temperature causes the molecules to slow down, reducing their kinetic energy and allowing them to move closer together. This process can lead to the molecules eventually forming a solid state.


What will happen to the molecules in the water in a ice tray?

The molecules in the water will slow down and come closer together as they lose heat, eventually forming a solid lattice structure as they freeze into ice.


It is true that cold usually speeds up reaction rates?

Cold temperatures generally slow down reaction rates because molecules have less kinetic energy to react with each other. This is in contrast to higher temperatures, which typically increase reaction rates by providing more energy for molecules to collide and react.


Explain why heating these molecules might slow the rate at which this reaction occurs?

Heating molecules increases their kinetic energy, causing them to move and collide more frequently. While this can accelerate some reactions, it might slow down a specific reaction if it requires a specific orientation or configuration of molecules to occur, which becomes less likely at higher temperatures due to increased random motion and collisions.

When a gas changes into a liquid do the molecules spped up or slow down?

When a gas changes into a liquid, the molecules slow down. This occurs as the gas loses energy through cooling and reaches a point where intermolecular forces become strong enough to hold the molecules close together in a liquid state.


What is the effect of freezing on water activity?

The water molecules will slow down.


When water changes to solid the molecules what?

When water changes to a solid (ice), the water molecules slow down and arrange themselves into a crystal lattice structure. This allows the molecules to form a regular pattern, resulting in the solid state of matter.


When high speed molecules mix and collide with slower speed molecules the high speed molecules do what?

What happens to the same molecules of water when they cool off?

'They die.".....No.They slow down in movement. When the molecules completely stop, it is called absolute zero. When the molecules slow down it goes from a gas, to a liquid, to a solid.it is impossible to get t o absolute zero .scientists have come with in 1/1000 of a degree but it is physically impossible to get atoms to be completely separated from any natural heat source.
