Question
Give a reason why a catalyst is used in certain chemical reactions.
Solution
A catalyst is used to make the reaction fast or slow down it. When KClO3 is heated, oxygen is produced but the reaction is very slow. If we add MnO2 to KClO3 and heat the rate of production of oxygen becomes faster.
