Answer to Problem 35R

Catalyst is that substance which used to accelerate that chemical reaction, but it remains unchanged in the rection while the reaction becomes slow down or stops by the addition of the inhibitor in a chemical reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The reaction rate is the speed at which the reactants get converted into the products and the lowest amount of energy that required to initiate the reaction is called the activation energy.

The reaction rate is the speed at which the reactants get converted into the products and the lowest amount of energy that required to initiate the reaction is called the activation energy. The catalyst is that substance which is used to accelerate that chemical reaction, but it remains unchanged in the rection while the reaction becomes slow down or stops by the addition of the inhibitor in a chemical reaction.

Conclusion:

Thus, the catalyst and the inhibitor are different with each other.
