Q

Which catalyst is used in the hydrogen peroxide experiment?

A

manganese oxide

18
Q

How is the scientist able to retrieve the catalyst?

A

it is not used up in the reaction

19
Q

What is a catalyst?

A

substance that increases rate of reaction but remains chemically unchanged

20
Q

How do catalysts work?

A

provide an alternative pathway
percentage of collisions with enough energy is higher
more successful collisions
