Answer:
Addition of a catalyst can speed up a reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy
Explanation:
A catalyst is an agent that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction that requires a lower activation energy. As the requirement for activation energy is less in the presence of a catalyst, there are more reactant particles becoming involved in the chemical reaction and as such there are more products formed per unit time, or there is an increase in the rate of the reaction
Example of catalyst include
1. Addition of potassium permanganate to hydrogen peroxide to aid in the rapid decomposition into water and oxygen
2. Platinum serves as a catalyst in the complete combustion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide.

#2.
A centigram is 1/100 of a gram, so that means a gram equals 100 centigrams.
Therefore you multiply 72.4 grams by 100/1 (or just 100), and get 7240 cg.
You did that one right but put the wrong unit in the answer. It is is cg ( centigrams).
#3.
1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, and I kiloliter is equal to 1000 liters. So one kiloliter is 1000*1000 milliliters or 1,000,000 milliliters.
The conversion factor would be
1/1000000
#4.
1 gigabyte is equal to 10^9 bytes.
I byte is equal to 10^9 bytes.
So 1 gigabyte is 10^9 * 10^9 nanobytes, or 10^18.
The conversion factor would be (1*10^18)/1.
Solids, liquids, gases, and plasma are all matter. When all atoms that make up a substance are the same, then that substance is an element. Elements made of only one kind of atom. Because of this, elements are called "pure" substances.
hope this helps :)
