Why Catalysts?What do they do?
In general terms, a catalyst is described as a substance that INCREASES the rate of a reaction
substance that INCREASES the rate of a reaction without being CONSUMED by the reaction.
Most commercially important reactions are just not FAST enough to be viable without the use of a CATALYST.
