A catalyst speeds up a reaction by
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. lowering the activation energy
- Step 1: More collisions then have enough energy to react. Answer: lowering the activation energy. Why not the others: raising the temperature: A catalyst does not change the temperature. increasing the enthalpy change: A catalyst does not change delta H. being consumed in the reaction: A catalyst is not consumed.
