Catalytic properties
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of the chemical reaction
but remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.
A catalyst takes part in the chemical reaction but is not consumed by the
reaction.
The energy profile of a reaction with and without a catalyst (pg. 226 no 3)
The Boltzmann distribution curve of the reaction (pg. 226 no 4)
Two types of catalyst action
i) Homogeneous catalysis
ii) Heterogeneous catalysis
