| What exactly is a Catalyst? | -This is simply a Substance that makes the Reaction go Faster, and itself being Chemically Changed or Used up in the Reaction- It stays the Same |
| How can Catalysts do their Job? | -They simply Decrease the Activation Energy for the Reaction
-This is done by giving an Alternative Reaction Pathway, that has Lower Activation Energy |
| How can you find out that a Substance may be a Catalyst for a Reaction? What do you have to do for this Test? | -Simply react the Solutions without the Substance, and measure the Rate of Reaction
-Then include the Substance in, and make sure you know the Mass of it as well
-If the Rate increases And the Solid hasn't been Affected [Filter the Solid and then Measure it], it may be a Catalyst
-Making it a Fair Test needs the Volumes and Concentration of the Solutions to be Recorded, as well as the Temperature |
| What are Enzymes? Where would they be used? | -They are simply Biological Catalysts, so they just speed up Chemical Reactions in Living Cells
-Respiration, Photosynthesis and Protein Synthesis uses Enzymes |
