  • Q #2: Which of the following best describes the result of using a catalyst in a chemical reaction?

    A. A more desirable product is often formed

    B. The reaction is completed in a shorter amount of time

    C. The yield of product is increased

    D. A greater amount of energy is released by the reaction

    Answer Explanation

    A catalyst is substance that speeds up the rate of converting reactants to products. They do by decreasing the activation energy of a reaction. If a catalyst increases the rate of reaction, then it means that the reaction takes a smaller time to come into completion.
    Catalysts can be metals, ions or biological also known as enzymes. Catalysts are not consumed when the reaction is taking place.
