Want this question answered?
yes.. No. That's no. Heat controls the rate of reaction, but a catalyst is defined as a *chemical agent* (element/ compound) that alters the rate of reaction.
Temperature
It will increase or decrease the speed of the chemical reaction.
A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.
The way of reaction depends on its type, and the metal. As for the speed, there are different ways to increase or decrease reaction rate(temperature, catalyst.)
Temperature
A catalyst speeds up the rate of reaction, and lower the activation energy needed.
The temperature of the system
Its a inhibitor.Science worksheet? I just finished it! Lol
Because catalyst will reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby the speed of the reaction increases.
A catalyst reduces the amount of energy required to produce the reaction. This speeds up the reaction and causes it to finish more quickly. Raising the temperature will also speed up a reaction.
The presence of a catalyst affects the activation energy of a reaction by lowering the activation energy, helping the reaction go faster and making it so the reaction does not have to use as much energy to fulfill the products.
