Michael Porter<p>Question for <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Chemistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chemistry</span></a> people - I’m looking at a HS text that states the following definition for “catalyst” is now “favoured”:</p><p>“A catalyst is a substance which provides an overall reaction with an alternative mechanism having a lower activation energy.”</p><p>I seem to recall that the alternative mechanism does NOT have to have a lower activation energy to increase the rate - just the possibility of another pathway will increase the rate.</p><p>(I notice that this definition doesn't mention the rate of the overall reaction at all.)</p><p>Would it suffice to say that a catalyst is a substance that provides an overall reaction with an alternative mechanism, and leave it at that? The regeneration of the catalyst seems to be assumed, and the rate will increase as a result of the extra pathway.</p><p>Eager to hear your (informed) opinions 😊</p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Chemistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chemistry</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Catalyst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Catalyst</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Kinetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kinetics</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ChemEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChemEd</span></a></p>
