Why would a chemical reaction stop?

Reactions stop because after time there are less reactants so the chemical reaction starts to slow down. As there are less and less reactants the chemical reaction gets slower and slower until it stops.


Without enzymes chemical reactions necessary for life would not occur at a rate sufficient to sustain life True or False?

Usually, to have a fast chemical reaction, you want high temperatures. However, it is not favorable to have these high temperatures in cells (for many reasons; ask another question if you want reasons) Therefore, organisms use enzymes to catalyze reactions. Essentially, you're achieving the same goal of a fast reaction by using a different mechanism (enzyme vs. high temp). In sustaining life, you need fast reactions because most reactions occur very very slowly.. The answer to your question is yes..without enzymes chemical reactions necessary for life would not occur at a rate sufficient to sustain life.


What is the symbol of catalyst?

you cannot. A catalyst is not a single substance, any chemical reaction can have many different catalysts. Usually these are (different) enzymes, but for instance metal ions or metalic particles can act as catalysts too. Otherwise, you can find catalysts at the chemists.


What is the chemical equation of radium and (CO3)-2?

Radium has an oxidation state of +2, Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2.....so it'll look like this Skeleton equation: Ra + O2 --> RaO.... Balanced equation 2Ra + O2---> 2RaO


Is combustible a physical or chemical property?

Combustibility is a chemical property because it describes a substance's ability to undergo a chemical reaction, typically with oxygen, leading to a release of energy as heat and light. It is not an inherent physical characteristic like mass or volume.

What can you do if you want to either make a chemical reaction happen faster or slower?

to slow down a chemical reaction you use the substance called an inhibitor. to speed up a chemical reaction you use the substance called a catalyst.


Would an atom whose outermost energy level full want to participate in a chemical reaction?

No.


How many substances does it take a chemical reaction to interact with each other?

Just 2, but you may want a catalyst to speed things up.

Why do you have to balance chemical equations?

You only need to balance a chemical equation if you want to know the proportions (how many of each type of molecules participate in the reaction).You only need to balance a chemical equation if you want to know the proportions (how many of each type of molecules participate in the reaction).You only need to balance a chemical equation if you want to know the proportions (how many of each type of molecules participate in the reaction).You only need to balance a chemical equation if you want to know the proportions (how many of each type of molecules participate in the reaction).


When water freezes to form snow is it a physical or chemical change?

physical change, because the frozen rain can be turned back into rain (or water if you want to be exact) But a good example of a chemical reaction would be, you have the ingredients for a cake, you take those ingredients, mix and bake them, that would be a chemical reaction because it cannot be turned back into a cake


Can potassium chloride be transported in aluminum tanks?

Yes if you want to cause a very big chemical reaction


How does enzymes allow chemical reaction to occur?

enzymes are catalysts, this means they speed up the process of chemical reaction. (almost all enzymes can only be used in one process it has a specific role e.g, lysosomes or peptides); the enzymes has a active site which lock in the two substrates which you want to react to form a products, the substrates are locked and fused together. The active site is like a key whole and the write type of "key" (substrate), must fit in, in order for the reaction to take place. the enzymes can only speed up a process under the right PH and temperature. it cannot however increase the amount of product formed at the end


Why do we need modified flour in your diet?

Because if you were to eat plain flour, it would cause a chemical reaction in your stomach that you would not want. Companies also want to make more money so they add in ingredients to use less flour costing them less money


How does heat speed up chemical reactions?

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.
