Heat it;

By heating the acid it causes the molecules to vibrate faster. This means they will collide with more of the other reactants and there will be more successful collisions. When the particles collide bonds between the particles are broken and formed between the other reactants. If there are more successful collisions per minute this will mean that that the reactants will create the product faster. The rate of reaction approximately doubles for every 10 degrees rise in temperature.

A solution contains water hydrochloric acid and a wire of magnesium if you double the concentration of hydrochloric acid the reaction should speed up or slow down?

The reaction should speed up. Increasing the concentration of hydrochloric acid provides more reactant molecules available for the reaction with magnesium, leading to more collisions and increased reaction rate.


When zinc is reacting with hydrochloric acid what make the reaction start slowly and speed up in a few minute?

The acid first has to dissolve away the zinc oxide layer that coats the zinc as more metal gets exposed the acid can react with the exposed metal. Also as the reaction progresses the solution heats up which also speeds the reaction.


Why Sulfuric acid added to the esterification reaction?

Sulfuric acid is added to the esterification reaction to act as a catalyst. It helps to increase the rate of the reaction and lower the activation energy required for the ester formation. Additionally, sulfuric acid helps to drive the equilibrium towards the product side by removing water as it is formed during the reaction.


Is copper sulphate the best catalyst between zinc and hydrochloric acid?

Copper sulfate is not typically used as a catalyst in the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid is a single displacement reaction where zinc displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. In this reaction, the presence of copper sulfate would not act as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.


What is 1-octanol and acetic acid reaction?

This is an ESTERification reaction. CH3(CH2)6CH2OH + CH3COOH < ==H^+==> CH3COOCH2(CH2)6CH3 + H2O The products are Octyl ethanoate(acetate) and water. A little Sulphuric Acid (H^+) is used to speed up the relux reaction.

Why does the rate of a reaction speed up?

Catalyst will reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby the speed of the reaction (or the rate of the reaction) increases.
