Question

If a catalyst slows down the rate of a chemical reaction, it is called a negative catalyst.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• In chemistry, a catalyst is any substance that changes the speed of a reaction without being consumed.
• A negative catalyst is a substance that slows the rate of a chemical reaction.
• For example; Phosphoric acid works as a negative catalyst, reducing the rate of Hydrogen peroxide decomposition.
• Hence, If a catalyst slows down the rate of a chemical reaction, it is called a negative catalyst is a true statement.
