We want to speed up a random endothermic reaction. Lets assume
we have complete knowledge of the structures of our
intermediates and products. What could we try to do to make the
endothermic reaction go faster? Why? Provide at least two
strategies.
We can take Lechatlier's Principles help here.
1. For an endothermic reaction increasing temperature might be a best option to reaction go faster.
2. If we can remove the product(s) then the reaction go faster (OR) increasing reactant(s) concentration also makes reaction go faster.
3. Introducing a positive catalyst also makes reaction go faster, as we know catalyst decreases activation energy therby makes reaction go faster.
4. If reactants and products are both in gaseous state and reactant moles are higher than product moles increasing pressure will makes reaction go faster and in the same way if reactants moles are lesser than product moles then decreasing pressure makes reaction go faster.
5. If solvent plays a major role as either polar or non-polar then according to the condition performing reaction under polar or non-polar environment will makes reaction go faster.
