Catalysis Previewed as a Rate Factor
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A catalyst is a substance that increases a reaction's rate without itself being permanently consumed by the reaction.
Show
Dilute hydrogen peroxide decomposes slowly on a shelf but foams rapidly on an open wound, sped by substances the tissue provides.
Watch for
A catalyst can appear to be consumed mid-reaction, but a true catalyst always reappears unchanged once the reaction completes.
