The addition to decreases the temperature at which decomposes because added acts as a _______ catalyst.
Step-I
Positive catalyst:- This catalyst can be considered as the catalyst which initiates the reaction to take place at a faster rate.
For Example:-
When potassium chlorate is heated in the presence of manganese dioxide catalyst then, it will decompose to form potassium chloride and oxygen gas.
In this reaction, (manganese dioxide) is acting like a positive catalyst.
This is because it is enhancing the rate of the reaction.
