Reactions and Catalysts

What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?

• It is consumed completely during the reaction.

• It slows down the reaction.

• It speeds up the reaction without being consumed.

• It has no effect on the reaction rate.

What is often reduced when catalysts are used in chemical reactions?

• Reaction speed

• Activation energy and CO2 emissions

• The amount of products formed

• The temperature of the surroundings

How do catalysts affect industrial processes?

• They increase energy demand and CO2 emissions.

• They have no impact on industrial processes.

• They reduce the need for raw materials.

• They often require lower temperatures and reduce energy demand and CO2 emissions.

What is the effect of having a greater proportion of molecules with energy greater than or equal to activation energy on the rate of reaction?

• It decreases the rate of reaction.

• It does not affect the rate of reaction.

• It increases the rate of reaction.

• It changes the products of the reaction.

How do catalysts increase the rate of a chemical reaction?

• By being consumed in the reaction.

• By providing a higher activation energy for the reaction.

• By providing an alternative route for the reaction with a lower activation energy.

• By changing the products of the reaction.
