Q. How do I file a complaint? A. To make a complaint about a health care facility or community-based treatment program contact OHCQ Substance Abuse Unit at 877-402-8218 or log on to the OHCQ website at http://www.dhmh.state.md.us/ohcq/regulated_programs/substance_abuse.htm to complete a complaint form.
There are several factors that can influence chemical reaction rate. In general, a factor that increases the number of collisions between particles will increase the reaction rate and a factor that decreases the number of collisions between particles will decrease the chemical reaction rate.
Increases in the temperature of a system results from increases in the kinetic energy of the system. This has several effects on the rates of reactions. 1) More energetic collisions. When molecules collide, the kinetic energy of the molecules can be converted into chemical potential energy of the molecules.If the chemical potential energy of the molecules become great enough, the activation energy of a exergonic reaction can be achieved and a change in chemical state will result.) The number of collisions per unit time will increase. In order to convert substrate into product, enzymes must collide with and bind to the substrate at the active site. Increasing the temperature of a system will increase the number of collisions of enzyne and substrate per unit time.
