Catalysts speed up reactions and they do this by decreasing the activation energy. The way they decrease the activation energy is by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction. Because there are so many different reaction mechanisms/pathways in chemistry, there must be many different catalysts.
Sulphuric acid is not a positive catalyst. It is a strong mineral acid that can act as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions, but its role as a catalyst is not specific to promoting the forward reaction.
A catalyst..?Or "Enzyme" in Biochemistry.

Catalyst speeds up reactions, and inhibitors are used to slow down reactions.
No, water is not a catalyst in chemical reactions. It can act as a solvent or a medium for reactions to occur, but it does not speed up the reaction itself.
Sodium acetate is not a catalyst, but rather a salt that can act as a buffer or a reactant in chemical reactions. Sulfuric acid can act as a catalyst in certain reactions by providing a medium for proton transfer or dehydration reactions to occur more easily. Each compound has different functions in chemical reactions depending on the specific reaction conditions and mechanisms.

Enzymes are biologic catalyst that speed up chemical reactions by lowering its activation energy Ea
