A catalyst increases the concentration of products at equilibrium.

A catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reactions equally.

A catalyst stabilizes only the reactants, increasing their concentration at equilibrium.

A catalyst changes the standard free energy change (∆G°) for the reaction.

Decomposes and releass energy for increasing the number of successful collisions between reactant molecules

Bind temporarily to reactant molecules for lowering the Ea of the reaction

Drive the reaction to completion by consuming byproducts of the reaction

Disassociates into more reactant molecules to increase the reactant rate

To increase production rate without increasing temperature significantly.

To slow down production rates for better quality control.

To store more energy within their products’ chemical bonds.

To create more products without any reactants present.

They lower the activation energy required for reactions to proceed.

They provide raw materials needed for reactions.

They raise temperature and pressure within cells.

They serve as additional reactants that drive reactions forward.

It requires closer proximity between reacting molecules than other steps do.

It releases more heat upon completion than any other step in the mechanism.

It has significantly higher activation energy compared to other steps in the mechanism.

It involves formation of products more than any other step in the mechanism.

It consumes reactant molecules.

It increases the reaction temperature.

It changes the equilibrium constant.

It lowers the activation energy.

Since excessive temperatures can deactivate most common types of catalytic materials used.

Because all reactant molecules are already colliding with sufficient energy and proper orientation for product formation.

As increasing reactant concentrations beyond saturation point will prevent further acceleration of rates.

Due to depletion of all available active sites on the catalyst's surface over time during prolonged reactions.

It permanently reacts with substrates, depleting enzyme availability.

It donates electrons to substrates to reduce their oxidation states.

It specifically binds to substrates and stabilizes the transition state.

It increases temperature at localized sites to speed up reactions.

It suppresses reverse reactions while enhancing forward reactions for quicker product formation.

It increases the rates of both forward and reverse reactions equally without affecting equilibrium constants.

It increases only the rate of forward reaction, shifting the equilibrium towards products faster.

It halts both forward and reverse reactions until removed from the system by external means.
