Solution

The rate of the reaction is increased by the presence of catalyst. If no catalyst is used, the reaction may occur slowly. Catalysts are important in industrial process. For ex.,(a) Finely powdered nickel is used for the hydrogenation of oils. (b) Finely divided vanadium pent oxide (V2O5) is used in the Contact Process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid. (c) Pt, Pd are used in many industrial processes as catalyst.
