anonymous · Answer

If we added water, then the water would force all the molecules to spread further apart. 

When the molecules are spread further apart, they don't touch each other as often. 

And what that does is slow down the reaction. 
Because reactions happen when molecules touch one another, and react. 

Does that make sense?
