Define five ways you can speed up or slow down a reaction?

Answer 1

1.temperature

2.catalyst

3.surface area

4.concentration

5.stiring

Answer 2

1. Changing the temperature of the reaction can speed it up by increasing molecular collisions and kinetic energy.
2. Adding a catalyst can speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed.
3. Increasing the concentration of reactants can speed up a reaction by providing more reactant molecules to collide and react.
4. Changing the surface area of solid reactants can speed up a reaction by exposing more reactant surface area for collisions to occur.
5. Adjusting the pH of the reaction environment can speed up or slow down a reaction by affecting the ionization state of reactants and the reaction rate.
