How Does Catalyst Concentration Affect Reaction Rate?
In general, increasing the concentration of a catalyst will increase the reaction rate. This is because more catalyst molecules provide more active sites for the reactants to interact with. The relationship between catalyst concentration and reaction rate is often studied using kinetic experiments. For many reactions, the rate law can be expressed as: Rate = k [Catalyst]^n where k is the rate constant and n is the order of the reaction with respect to the catalyst. Typically, n is less than or equal to 1, indicating a direct but often not linear relationship between the catalyst concentration and the reaction rate.
