Chapter 12, Problem 134QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The statement that does not describe a catalyst is to be identified. The incorrect statement is to be written in a correct way.

Concept Introduction:

Catalyst is a chemical substance which is used to increase or decrease the speed of reaction without being actually consumed.

If there is a use of catalyst in the reaction, the energy diagram changes a little bit. The bump of the graph gets lower if the catalyst increases the rate of reaction whereas if the rate decreases, the bump of graph decreases.
