Hypothetical Questions on Catalysts in a Chemical Reaction

What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?

• It is consumed completely during the reaction.

• It slows down the reaction.

• It speeds up the reaction without being consumed.

• It has no effect on the reaction rate.

What is often reduced when catalysts are used in chemical reactions?

• Reaction speed

• Activation energy and CO2 emissions

• The amount of products formed

• The temperature of the surroundings
