How can temperature affect a chemical reaction?

Answer:

Heat is a very commonly used catalyst that is used to speed up chemical reactions. When more temperature, or heat, is added to a chemical reaction, then the chemical reaction would occur much more quickly than had it just been left there to react on its own.
