Question

Example of Catalyst Equation:​

Answer 1

Two molecules of hydrogen peroxide will produce two molecules of water and one molecule of oxygen. A catalyst of potassium permanganate can be used to speed up this process. Adding potassium permanganate to the hydrogen peroxide will cause a reaction that produces a lot of heat, and water vapor will shoot out

Answer 2

Catalysts allow reactions to proceed faster through a lower-energy transition state. ... To reiterate, catalysts do not affect the equilibrium state of a reaction. In the presence of a catalyst, the same amounts of reactants and products will be present at equilibrium as there would be in the uncatalyzed reaction.

Catalysts are primarily categorized into four types. They are (1) Homogeneous, (2) Heterogeneous (solid), (3) Heterogenized homogeneous catalyst and (4) Biocatalysts. 1) Homogeneous catalyst: In homogeneous catalysis, reaction mixture and catalyst both are present in the same phase.
