1. Increase the temperature
   2) Increase the concentration of reactants
   3) Increase the surface area of the reactants
   4) Use a catalyst
   5) Remove the product as it's formed

This is because the reaction taking place is a displacement reaction, meaning that one element is being displaced by another. 

So what is being displaced?:

If you look...

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction and therefore increases the rate of reaction. The catalysts reacts with the reactants but is regenerated again i...

If you add an acid to a metal oxide you get a salt and water.

For example: 

HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + H₂O

Enzymes are known as biological catalyst and work by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. They do this by providing an alternative pathway whi...
