6. Enzymes are not the only catalysts. Metals can also serve as a catalyst. For example, silver can be used to catalyze the reaction of ethylene and oxygen to form ethylene oxide, a component of anti-freeze. How do you think increasing the temperature would impact this reaction? Would you anticipate seeing temperature trends to the ones you observed in this exercise?

It increases the rate of reaction.

Explanation:

If the temperature increases, the speed of the reaction will also increases due to more reactants takes part in a chemical reaction. For starting a chemical reaction, activation energy is required because this activation energy provides energy to the atoms in order breaking of older bonds and to move towards each other avoiding the force of repulsion. So temperature has a good effect on the chemical reaction.
