What effect does a catalyst have on the mechanism of a reaction? It usually binds to the reactant(s) and orients the reactants optimally to speed up the reaction. Remeber the lock and key model for enzymes? Or even how Heterogeneous catalysis work by holding onto the reactant to orient it correctly. Stop googling and start thinking.
No, a catalyst simple speeds up the reaction it is added to. It does not affect the reaction itsself. i am in Chemistry and we have discussed this. If you want a seconnd opinion. Google it.
A catalyst does not affect the enthalpy change of a reaction. It speeds up the reaction by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to proceed faster. The overall enthalpy change (ΔH) remains the same with or without a catalyst.
No, a catalyst will not change reaction enthalpy. If it does so, then it is NOT a catalyst but a reactant in stead!
A catalyst does not change the equilibrium position of a reaction, meaning it does not alter the amount of products formed at equilibrium. Additionally, a catalyst does not affect the overall thermodynamics of a reaction, such as enthalpy or entropy. It also does not get consumed or chemically changed in the reaction it is catalyzing.
A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.
The activation energy is reduced.

The enthalpy change of an uncatalyzed reaction is the heat energy absorbed or released during the reaction when no catalyst is present. This value can be determined by calculating the difference between the enthalpy of the products and the enthalpy of the reactants.

A catalyst speeds up the reaction and lowers the amount of heat needed.
No, a catalyst does not change the thermodynamics of a reaction, so it does not make a reaction exothermic. A catalyst provides an alternative pathway for the reaction to proceed at a faster rate, but it does not affect the overall energy change (enthalpy) of the reaction.
A catalyst enables more particles to reach the activation energy and to take part in the reaction. Therefore the speed of the reaction increases.
The activation energy is reduced.
yes. lowers it.
a catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reaction. however, it does not change the potential energy of the reactants or products. it also does not affect the heat of reaction (delta h)
The enthalpy of a chemical reaction is the change of heat during this reaction.
