WHAT DOES CATALYTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

catalytic

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction of one or more reactants due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst. Unlike other reagents in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction. With a catalyst, less free energy is required to reach the transition state, but the total free energy from reactants to products does not change. A catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations. The effect of a catalyst may vary due to the presence of other substances known as inhibitors or poisons or promoters. The opposite of a catalyst, a substance that reduces the rate of a reaction, is an inhibitor. Catalyzed reactions have a lower activation energy than the corresponding uncatalyzed reaction, resulting in a higher reaction rate at the same temperature. However, the mechanistic explanation of catalysis is complex. Catalysts may affect the reaction environment favorably, or bind to the reagents to polarize bonds, e.g.

Definition of catalytic in the English dictionary

The definition of catalytic in the dictionary is of or relating to catalysis; involving a catalyst.
