  1. They are consumed in the reaction
  2. They increase the activation energy
  3. They provide an alternative pathway with lower activation energy
  4. They change the equilibrium constant

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true about catalysts?
  • Step 1: Understand what a catalyst is. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction.
  • Step 2: Learn about activation energy. Activation energy is the energy needed to start a reaction.
  • Step 3: Know that catalysts lower the activation energy. This means that reactions can happen more easily and quickly.
  • Step 4: Realize that catalysts are not used up in the reaction. They can be used over and over again.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because catalysts lower activation energy, they increase the rate of the reaction.
