Question

Considering that catalysts are not consumed in a reaction, how do you think increasing the amount of catalyst would affect the reaction rate for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?

a. increase
b. decrease
c. no effect

Answer 1

a. increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Catalysis is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst, which is not consumed in the catalyzed reaction.

By default, catalysts exists to speed up the rate of reactions. Increasing the amount of catalysts means that there would be an increase in the rate of reaction. The correct option is A.
