Neutralization - reactions occurs when


acid and base will react and produce
water and salt.

A catalyst is a substance that increases


the rate of a chemical reaction without
being consumed or permanently altered
in the process. Catalysts work by lowering
the activation energy required for the
reaction to occur, making it proceed
faster.
Functions of a Catalyst
1. Speeds up reactions: Catalysts make
chemical reactions occur more quickly by
providing an alternative reaction pathway
with lower activation energy.
