Arunner stood at the hundred meter mark on a track. when the timer started, the runner sprinted north to the 200 m mark. it took the runner 25 seconds to get to the 200 m mark. what was the average velocity of the runner while he was sprinting?

d. making up measurements to record.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
