<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Correct option is D.
It accelerates the reaction rates of a mixture.
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
It is used to speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy.Catalysis is the backbone of many industrial processes, which use chemical reactions to turn raw materials into useful products.
<u><em>Types</em></u>
There are two types of catalyst (1) Homogeneous (2) Heterogeneous
In a heterogeneous reaction, the catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants. In a homogeneous reaction, the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants.
Increase the Surface Area of the Reactants. Increasing the surface area of the reactants increases the rate of the reaction. More surface area means more collisions of the reactant molecules and an increased rate of the reaction. This occurs when reactants are made to react in powdered form
It's not, if it were it would be ice. The water is a bit warmer.
A. Water can dissolve a wide variety of substances
