Question

A specific catalyst was not provided for this reaction, but catalysts are useful for increasing the rate of many slow reactions. In your own words, give a detailed explanation of how catalysts can increase the rate of a reaction or process.

Answer 1

it gives the reaction an alternative pathway with a nice lowered energy of activation. With a lowered energy of activation, the reaction can proceed much faster. You asked about collision earlier, this also makes it possible for a chance of higher successful collisions.

Answer 2

thanks abbot oh can i have a medal for asking to ?
