The activation energy needed for a chemical reaction is decreased by a
|
|
catalyst.
|
|
|
reactant.
|
|
|
product.
|
|
|
substrate.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The process of speeding up a reaction by reducing its activation energy is known as catalysis, and the factor that’s added to lower the activation energy is called a catalyst.
Detailed explanation-2: -A catalyst (KAT-l-ihst) is a substance that decreases the activation energy needed to start a chemical reac-tion. As a result, a catalyst also increases the rate of the chemical reaction, or makes the products form faster. A catalyst takes part in a chemical reaction, but it does not get changed or used up.
