What is the name of substance that slows reaction?

The substance that slows down a chemical reaction is an inhibitor. Instead you could also call an inhibitor an anticatalyst.-anticatalyst `antee'katlist1. (chemistry) a substance that retards a chemical reaction or diminishes the activity of a catalyst


Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is?

Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is cooled. Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of particles. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. So when temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy decreases, so the energy of motion decreases, and the molecule slows down.


Is it true that lowering the temperature slows down most chemical reactions?

most chemical reactions dealing with enzymes preform best in a certain small temperature range, so increased or decreased temperatures could result in the slowing down of reactions


In nuclear reactor heavy water is used as?

Heavy water (deuterium) functions as a moderator. It slows down fast neutrons released by fission reactions in order to allow the reaction to be sustained. Fast neutrons pass through the reactor before initiating another fission reaction.


What is the substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction called?

A substance by itself will not slow down a chemical reaction; factors require change, such as cooling the reactants or lowering the concentration, to do so. Adding another chemical or substance that happens to slow a reaction often does so by actually interfering with the reaction and replacing or preventing it outright, and there is not a name for chemicals that do this -?inhibitor?-, since a chemical may do this to one reaction, but be a catalyst to another.Added:decrease surface area/ remove catalyst/ decrease temperature/ decrease concentration/ add inhibitor/ dilute reactants/ separate reactants/
