Answer:

To speed up a reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat, as well as catalysts, increase the reaction rate of some chemical reactions since they cause the enzymes or reagents in charge of carrying out the transformation to products to act faster and increase their kinetic energy of reaction.
