Interpretation:
The parameter which is different for a reaction carried out in the presence of a catalyst compared with the same reaction carried out in the absence of a catalyst should be determined from the given parameters.
Concept introduction:
The process of acceleration or retardation of the rate of a
A catalyst will change the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state, but it will not change the energy difference between the reactant and the products.

- Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?arrow_forward. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forwardIn Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.arrow_forward
