A smaller particle size means a larger surface area, which in turn, means that more of that substance is exposed to the other reactant(s). This facilitates more collisions which means a faster reaction will happen. Dissolving a substance in water is the ultimate way to decrease particle size/increase surface area which is why many reactions are carried out in solution because outside solution they would take forever.
The reaction can occur on more surface area of the reactant. Eg. If you have a solid dough ball and bake it, the inside takes a while to heat, whereas if you have a load of small bits it goes quite quickly. A bit abstract of an example but however.
Speed up, more suface area.
Decrease the activation energy to speed up a chemical reaction.
The effect of heat on a chemical reaction will depend on whether the chemical reaction is exothermic (producing heat), or endothermic (requiring an input of heat). If the reaction is endothermic, then adding heat will increase the speed, but the opposite is true for an exothermic reaction.
Increasing the pressure on a reaction involving reacting gases increases the rate of reaction. Changing the pressure on a reaction which involves solids or liquids has no effect on the rate of reaction.
Correct. Enzymes help to speed up chemical reactions. They may speed them up, costing them some energy, but they are never used up.
An increase in temperature will increase the speed of the particles and cause the particles to both bump into one another more frequently and with more energy thus increasing the reaction rate.
Decrease the activation energy to speed up a chemical reaction.
No. A smaller surface area will slow down a chemical reaction.

to speed up a chemical reaction
Activation energy is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction.
The speed of a given chemical reaction is directly responsible for spontaneity of the reaction. The reaction force and effect is contingent upon the speed of the reaction. The faster the reaction, the more force will be produced.
A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction.
The speed of which new particles form is called the rate of reaction.
It will increase or decrease the speed of the chemical reaction.
Catalysts speed up the chemical 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.
