What are three things that will slow-down the rate of a chemical reaction?
There are three things that can slow down a chemical reaction. You can have an inhibitor, something that is used to decrease the rate of a reaction, you can decrease the temp. making it colder, and decreasing the surface area (it takes longer for something to dissolve like a whole sugar cube, when it takes only a matter or seconds for a spoon full of sugar to dissolve). Hope that helped! If you need any more help, just comment.
Why does the rate of a reaction slow down when a reduced concentration of hydrochloric acid is added to a chemical?
the hydrochloric acid denatures the enzymes (changes their shapes), so they can no longer bind to the substrate and make the reaction occur.
What is meant by the rate of reaction?
The how much speed it takes for two substances to make one product. Many factors can affect this including the temperature, the surface area, the concentration, the catalyst and the pressure (only applies for gases)
How is the rate of reaction compared with the time the reaction is carried out?
The time it takes for a reaction to occur is a function of the reaction rate constant and the amount of reactants. However, how long it takes for a reaction of occur completely depends on the type of reaction it is -- what the order of the reaction is. A first or second order reaction reaction will occur much faster earlier on, but slows down significantly once the reactants are depleted. The rate of a zero order reaction is constants regardless of the concentration of the reactants.
What is a reaction rate apex?
how slow or fast A reaction progresses - apex
How can you slow down the rate of a reaction?
by adding an inhibitor
Why does the rate of forward reaction slow down when a reversible reactions approaches at state of equilibrium?
For a reversible reaction, the concentration of the products will be more as it approaches the equilibrium. So the rate of reverse reaction will increase and the rate of forward reaction will slow down.
Would it be valid to conclude that if a base were added the rate of the reaction would slow down?
No, it is not valid to conclude that the addition of a base would slow down a reaction.
How does temperature affects the rate of industrial reaction?
It depends. A higher temperature will speed up an endothermic reaction, but slow down an exothermic reaction.
What will slow down the reaction rate of maltose broken down into glucose molecules by the enzyme maltase?
diluting with water
What is a substance that slow down the rate of a chemical reaction?
This class of compounds/elements are called inhibitors.
Why does adding more water slow down the rate of a chemical reaction?
The concentration of reactants is lowered.
What things might slow down or speed up and enzyme reaction?
The temperature in addition to the pH sacle of something in particular in the environment would affect the rate of speed of an enzyme and would slow down the reaction if it is too high.
Do Hallucinogens Slow What if your Reaction Time?
It slows it down. It's a depressant. It slows your breathing, heart rate, brain, etc.
Does adding water slow down a chemical reaction?
Adding water can often slow down a chemical reaction by diluting it. This is the case of a quantitative reaction such as an enzymatic reaction.
Is enzymes slow the rate of reaction?
Actually, enzymes are typically used to catalyse a biological reaction, leading to a faster reaction rate, not slower.
Why does storing food in a freezer slow down the rate of reaction?
All chemical and biological reactions take longer at low tempretures.
