Answer – Volume’s proportionality to temperature is direct.

Explanation-

As we know density is the mass of an object per unit volume of that object it depends on the volume and we also know that volume is dependent directly on temperature does. When temperature of something increases, then the volume of that object also increases. Because on heating the molecules start moving faster and faster movement of molecules need more space.

Hence the opposite happens when temperature decreases the volume and volume being inversely proportional to density causes and the density to increase in kinetic energy.

This is because temperatures determine the kinetic energy of molecules of a substance, At lower temperatures the molecules have low kinetic energy hence the distance between molecules is not as large as when the kinetic energy is higher (because the molecules bombard less and with less kinetic energy). This means the substance can pack more molecules per volume at lower temperatures. The more the molecules per volume the higher the density.

What is a catalyst?
Andrew [12]

A catalyst is a substance added to the reaction that lowers the activation energy by providing an alternate pathway for the reactions to go to completion.

A catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical response, or lowers the temperature or strain needed to begin one, with out itself being ate up at some stage in the response. Catalysis is the procedure of adding a catalyst to facilitate a response.

Catalysts may be categorized as homogeneous, heterogeneous, or enzymatic. Homogeneous catalysts exist inside the identical phase as the reactants, whereas heterogeneous catalysts exist in a exclusive section than the reactants.

Catalysts are basically categorised into 4 kinds.Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, Heterogenized homogeneous catalyst and Biocatalysts. Homogeneous catalyst: In homogeneous catalysis, reaction mixture and catalyst both are gift inside the equal segment.
