All first row/period transition metals, iron included, are good catalysts.
They provide a surface on which the reactants can briefly adhere, thereby slightly altering the electronic energies/ arrangements. This allows the other reactant to react quicker, thereby the electronic arrangements change again and the new molecule detaches from the catalytic surface.
NB
Catalysrs speed up a reaction. and Inhibitors slow down a reaction.
A catalyst is a substance which speeds up the rate of reaction. After the reaction it remain chemically unchanged. It does NOT affect the position of equilibrium. There can also be negative or "poisoned" catalysts as in Rosenmunds reaction.
a catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reaction. however, it does not change the potential energy of the reactants or products. it also does not affect the heat of reaction (delta h)
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process, while a reactant is a substance that participates in a chemical reaction and is consumed. Essentially, a catalyst speeds up a reaction without being changed itself, while a reactant is consumed during the reaction.
Temperature
When a catalyst is used in a chemical reaction, the reaction rate typically increases. This is because the catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to proceed more quickly. Catalysts themselves are not consumed in the reaction and can be reused.
A catalyst speeds up the reaction and lowers the amount of heat needed.

A catalyst enables more particles to reach the activation energy and to take part in the reaction. Therefore the speed of the reaction increases.
Adding a catalyst to the mixture would not affect the equilibrium concentration of H2O. A catalyst speeds up the rate of the forward and reverse reactions equally, without changing the position of the equilibrium. This means that the equilibrium concentration of H2O would not be affected by the presence of a catalyst.
They provide alternative pathway for the reaction, usually with less energy barrier

The presence of a hydrogen peroxide catalyst can increase the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to occur more quickly.
A catalyst is not consumed in a chemical reaction, meaning it does not undergo a permanent change in its own chemical structure. It increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy.
