The rate of chemical reaction can be increased by following ways:-

1. Adding a catalyst.

2. Increasing the temperature of system.

3. Increasing the surface area.

4. Increasing the stirring/mixing rate

5. Increasing the pressure of system (but take care as this is not always the case)

How does a enzyme increase the speed of a reaction?

The enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reaction, therefore chemical reaction speeds are increased.


What effects does temperature have on chemical changes?

Generally the speed of reaction increase when the temperature is increased.

Why does increased temperature speed up a reaction?

The motion of chemical entities increase with the temperature and the probability of collisions also increase.


What is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction?

Activation energy is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction.


How is the speed of chemical reaction related to the spontaneity of the 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.


What can a chemical reaction be speeded up by?

A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction.


Will an increased temp and an increased concentration speed up a chemical reaction?

Generally, yes. Unless the product of the reaction should be ammonia for example, where a decreased temperature is needed. A catalyst from the transition metals will speed up a reaction too, for example a nickel catalyst in the process of the hydrogenation of margerine as it lowers the activation energy needed for the reaction to start. Increased pressure will also speed up the reaction, no matter what reaction is occurring.


What are two ways the speed of a chemical reaction can be increased if both of the reactants are aqueous solutions?

The speed of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the temperature, as higher temperatures provide more kinetic energy to the reactant molecules, leading to more frequent and energetic collisions. Another way is to increase the concentration of the reactants, as a higher concentration provides more reactant particles in a given volume, increasing the likelihood of collisions and reactions.


What do enzymes to do a chemical reaction?

Enzymes are catalysts in a chemical reaction, they are used in chemistry to increase the speed of a specific chemical reaction. A single enzyme will not speed up multiple chemical reactions, usually it is limited to one reactant.


Element used to speed up chemical reactions?

Anything that is added to a chemical reaction that's intended to speed up the reaction - is a catalyst.
