you are performing an experiment and want to increase the rate of friction. you stop stirring the reactants and, instead, increase the concentration of one reactant. can you expect the reaction to proceed at a faster rate? explain
You shouldn't be looking for people to just do your homework for you. I'm not going to answer your question, except to say that you should study reaction orders. Find out what a zero order reaction is. That will get you well on the way to answering the question yourself.
Your question makes no sense.
The rate of reaction can be affected by several conditions, one of which is mixing. Other factors are temperature, exothermic reaction rates usually increase with temperature and endothermic rates decrease.
Reactant concentrations can have an effect, however equilibrium reactions are a function of both reactants and product concentrations with temperature and concentration affecting the equilibrium.
In addition reactant rates can be affected by catalysts and poisons.
Reaction rates is a complex subject. One that requires much more detailed information than given in your query even if it was worded correctly.

Is this enzyme-mediated or non-enzymatic reaction?
