Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Rate Of Reaction (Section 1 - No. 5)
What is the primary function of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?
To increase the concentration of reactants.
To lower the activation energy and provide an alternative reaction pathway.
To increase the temperature of the reaction.
To change the stoichiometry of the reaction.
Explanation
A catalyst provides an alternate pathway and lower activation energy, so reactions happen faster.
