Catalyst will reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby the speed of the reaction (or the rate of the reaction) increases.

No a catalyst is unchanged by a chemical reaction, it does however serve to speed up the rate of the reaction.


Why does a catalyst speed up the rate of reaction?

The use of a catalyst increases the chance of particles meeting. This causes there to be a decrease in activation energy, and results in an increase in rate of reaction.


How does a catalyst speed up a reaction at low tempertures?

A catalysts speed up the rate of reaction by providing an alternate pathway which has a lower energy of activation than the normal pathway.
