What is the function of catalyst |
|
Answer» A catalyst increases reaction rates in a slightly different way from other methods of increasing reaction rate. The function of a catalyst is to lower the activation energy so that a greater proportion of the particles have enough energy to react. A catalyst can lower the activation energy for a reaction by:\t\torienting the reacting particles in such a way that successful collisions are more likely\t\t\treacting with the reactants to form an intermediate that requires lower energy to form the product\t To increse the rate of reaction without involving nither physical nor chemically. |
