catalysts alter the rate of chemical reaction. Positive catalyst increases the rate of reaction if a suitable catalyst can provide an alternative path for collision and a negative catalyst decreases the rate of reaction but there is no change in quantities of products formed.
Final answer : catalysts alter the rate of chemical reaction. Positive catalyst increases the rate of reaction if a suitable catalyst can provide an alternative path for collision and a negative catalyst decreases the rate of reaction but there is no change in quantities of products formed.
