A catalyst works by: A. combusting and giving off energy to jump start a reaction.
B. lowering the activation energy of a reaction.
C. boosting the energy of the particles to meet the activation energy threshold.
D. binding to low energy particles to keep them out of the way of the high energy particles to increase the rate of collisions.

Which of the following is not a result when a change to an equilibrium system is applied? (2 points) increasing the rate of the forward reaction will cause a shift to the left. increasing the rate of the reverse reaction will cause a shift to the left. decreasing the rate of the forward reaction will cause a shift to the left. decreasing the rate of the reverse reaction will cause a shift to the right.
