One way to decrease the rate of a chemical reaction is to decrease the temperature. Another way is to add quantities of the products formed to force the reaction to move in the opposite direction. Inhibitors can also be added, which are substances that slow down chemical reactions.

∙ 14y agoSome ideas are:
Temperature- reactions generally go slower when cold.
Diluting the mixture with say a solvent that does not react with the reactants or the product.
"Removing" one of the reactants - by adding something else to the reaction mixture to "mop" it up

∙ 12y agoA lot of things can decrease the rate of reaction:
Lowering the temperature.
Lowering the amounts of concentration of the reactants.
Increasing the volume (which would also decrease pressure) <<-- that's more important for reactions with gaseous solutions.

∙ 13y agodecrease the temperature, use a larger piece of element (larger surface area), use an anticatalyst
add more please

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 an explosion a slow chemical change?
A chemical explosion is a very quickly chemical reaction.
What is the effect on the rate of a chemical reaction when the concnetration of a reactant is decreased?
When the concentration of the reactant is decreased, the rate of chemical reaction go slow.
Do catalysts speed up a chemical reaction or slow it down?
A catalyst works by providing a reaction route with a lower activation energy. An inhibitor slows a reaction and can work in several ways, for instance by tying up one of the reactants. We also use the term when we say catalyst inhibitor, which is something which binds to the active sites on a heterogeneous catalyst.
Is an explosion a slow or fast chemical reaction?
A very fast combustion. So, a very fast reaction.
How do you stop a or slow a chemical reaction?
by using an inhibitor or poisoning the chemical reaction

Is a slow reaction a chemical reaction?
maybe. Rotting of wood is a slow chemical process. Trying to cut up a tree with a small knife is slow, but that would be a physical change.
Is an explosion a slow chemical change?
A chemical explosion is a very quickly chemical reaction.
Will a smaller surface speed up a chemical reaction?
No. A smaller surface area will slow down a chemical reaction.

What things will slow down or speed up a chemical reaction such as between vinegar and baking powder?
Heat would speed up the reaction, while cold would slow the reaction.
Is souring milk an example of a chemical change?
Yes it is a chemical reaction between the calcium and the oxygen [i may be wrong their] but the rate of reaction is very slow.

How do you make a chemical reaction last longer?
you can speed up a chemical reaction by adding a catalyst to it,a catalyst just speeds up the reaction and does not react with the substances.just thought you should know
