Answers
A catalyst is a substance which speeds up a chemical reaction. Example:Platinum(Pt)
Answer:
• A catalyst is a substance that causes a chemical reaction to happen in a different way than it would happen without that catalyst • for example, a catalyst could cause a reaction to happen at a faster rate, or at a lower temperature, than would be possible without the catalyst.
Explanation:
• A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without getting consumed in the process.
•They are typically speed up a reaction by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism.
• Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions.
• An enzyme is a biological catalyst.
• Enzymes are important for controlling reactions in cells.
•They are also important in industry.
