The explanation is: increasing the pressure is equal to an increasing of concentration of reactants.
In a concentrated environment the possibility of interactions between molecules is higher.
And the consequence of more collisions is the increasing of reaction rate.

Does increasing the surface area increase or decrease the rate of a chemical reaction?

It will increase the rate of the reaction because more particles will be exposed and they will be able to react.This decreases the time to react.


How is the rate of reaction affected when the temperature increases?

As the temperature increases, the reaction time decreases.


Can chloroplast increase in size?

Yes they can increase. They are increasing in their life time.


The fourth postulate of kinetic theory states that collisions between particles occur quickly such that most of the time particles are in motion and not colliding Predict the effect of increasing the?

If the frequency of collisions between particles increases, the pressure of the gas will also increase, as pressure is a result of the force exerted by gas particles during collisions with the walls of the container. This would lead to an increase in the overall kinetic energy of the gas particles.


According to kinetic and collision theory why does increasing the temperature of the reaction increase the rate of reaction?

Increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the average kinetic energy of the molecules involved. This results in more frequent and energetic collisions between the molecules, leading to a higher probability of successful collisions that result in a reaction. In essence, increasing the temperature increases both the number of collisions and the proportion of collisions that have enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier.

How does increasing the gas pressure increase the reaction rate?

Yes, because as pressure increases, the collisions between gas particles would occur more frequently and with more force. Therefore, the amount of potential energy would increase, and it would take a shorter time for the activation energy to be reached.


Why does cooking in pressure cookers take less time give a little detailed answer but not very long 4-5 lines?

Cooking involve chemical reactions; but the reaction rate depends on the pressure: increasing the pressure the reaction rate is increasing. Also dissolution of some components of foods depends on the pressure, in a similar relation.


What is the effect varying the concentration on the rate of reaction time?

Increasing the concentration of reactants generally increases the rate of a reaction because there are more reactant particles available to collide and form products. This leads to more frequent and successful collisions, ultimately speeding up the reaction time.


When you increase the length of your workout what are you increasing?

Length is measured in time. So, you are increasing the time of the workout.


How do you increase water pressure from a gravity tank by increasing pipe sizes?

you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"


How does the amount of time given affect the rate of the enzymatic reaction?

it will increase the time of the chemical reaction


What factors change the rate of chemical reaction?

Adding a catalyst to the process will make the chemical reaction go faster. Also, the temperation, concentration, state of matter and pressure will affect the rate of the chemical reaction.


How can you increase the pressure on an object without increasing the size of the force?

By heating it or compressing it.


How does increasing the density of a gas causes the pressure to increase?

Increasing the density of a gas involves increasing the number of gas particles per unit volume. As a result, more gas particles collide with the walls of the container in a given amount of time, leading to more frequent collisions per unit area. This increase in collisions results in a higher pressure being exerted by the gas on the walls of the container.
