Katalysaatioon
Katalysaatioon refers to the process of catalysis, where a catalyst is used to accelerate a chemical reaction. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. It achieves this by providing an alternative reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy.
The presence of a catalyst can significantly speed up reactions that would otherwise be very slow or
Catalysts can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase as the reactants,
