Answer 2

Answer:

Catalyst :

• The process of catalysis involves introducing a catalyst to a chemical reaction to speed up the process. Catalysts are not destroyed during the reaction and are unaffected by it.

• A catalyst functions by giving the reaction an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy than the uncatalyzed pathway.

• Due to the decreased activation energy, more collisions at a given temperature will succeed, which will enhance the reaction rate.

• A substance, such as an element or a compound, known as a catalyst speeds up chemical reactions.

• Examples: When making margarine, nickel (Ni) is used to hydrogenate palm oil. The Haber process makes use of iron, Fe. (Amino acid production)
