Question

When a catalyst is added to a reaction the rate of reaction decreases truth or false?

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Catalysts decrease the activation energy required for a reaction to proceed (shown by the smaller magnitude of the activation energy on the energy diagram in Figure 7.14) and therefore increase the reaction rate.

Answer 2

Answer: False, rate of reaction would increase

Explanation: catalysts decreases the activation energy so there will be more products
