Question

5. 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

All I have so far is:

The catalyst lowers the energy barrier to a reaction and this will speed up the time the reaction takes.


I feel like I need more than just that but dont know what else to write.

Answer 2

Catalyst by decreasing the energy of activation nedded for the reaction by bringing the molecule togeather and increaseing their reactivity by holding the reactant together

Answer 3

to produce the product
