the addition of a catalyst during a chemical reaction alters which of the following quantities ?
Hi Adarsh,
A catalyst is defined as a substance that alters the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Generally, a catalyst accelerates the rate of a reaction by interacting with reactants and products. The catalyst is not consumed during the reaction. The catalyst changes the following properties during chemical reaction:
- It lowers the activation energy
- They alter mechanism of reaction and directs the reaction to proceed through different pathway
- They change the configuration of the reactants and weakening their bonds.
All the best.
