A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed. It accomplishes this by providing another mechanism that has a lower activation energy. True or false?

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Catalysis states that a catalyst is consumed but subsequently regenerated via inner mechanisms that allows it to achieve it. Besides, it is true that the inner mechanism has a lower activation energy which allows the reaction to be rapidly carried out in comparison with the catalystless chemical reaction.

Best regards.
