A catalyst is a chemical substance that hastens the chemical reaction. This does not participates in the creating the product(s) but allows it to be formed easily. With this, it is now known that the rate of the reaction becomes relatively higher compared to the uncatalyzed reactions.
Therefore, the answer to this item is the rate of the reaction becomes faster.

Answer:
A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Molecular compounds are named with the first element first and then the second element by using the stem of the element name plus the suffix -ide.
Answer: D
Explanation:
A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.
Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.
For B, this is true as we have established this already.
C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.
D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.
