Catalysis
Catalysis is the increase in the
rate of a
chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a
catalyst . With a catalyst, reactions occur faster and require less
activation energy. Because catalysts are not consumed in the catalyzed reaction, they can continue to catalyze the reaction of further quantities of reactant. Often only tiny amounts are required.
catalyze
Verb
1. change by catalysis or cause to catalyze
(synonym) catalyse
(hypernym) change state, turn
(derivation) catalyst, accelerator
(classification) chemistry, chemical science
catalyst (catalyze; catalysis)
Say it A substance which increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed or produced by the reaction. Catalysts speed both the forward and reverse reactions, without changing the
position of equilibrium .
Enzymes are catalysts for many biochemical reactions.
